CBB Vice Chairman Tom Jones Explains More About Beef Board Call for Federation Separation

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 6:57:38 CDT

The Cattlemen's Beef Board has oversight responsibility over all of the dollar per head checkoff- and the current Vice Chairman of the CBB, Arkansas cattle producer Tom Jones, says that USDA has asked the Beef Board to voice their opinion of the relationship that the current Federation of State Beef Councils has with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The eleven members of the Executive Committee has done so- click here for yesterday's Beef Buzz that includes the memo that calls for complete separation of the Federation from the NCBA.


The Executive Committee-approved motion states: "The Federation should be a strong, independent, checkoff entity. The Federation should be separate from any policy organization, since all funds for the checkoff come from mandatory assessments of producers and importers. The checkoff is owned by, and responsible to, all producers and importers, and no specific organization. It is not the intent of the Executive Committee that this motion has any effect on the structure of state beef councils."


We continue our conversation today with Tom Jones of the CBB about this issue- and he tells us that the NCBA as a contractor has done a great job for the cattle industry- but that only way to really assure all cattle producers that the full dollar is being spent properly is to separate the checkoff entity within the NCBA out as a stand alone group.


Today's segment of the conversation that we have had with Tom Jones is part two of our three part series with him on this issue.


The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well.
