Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and the other proponents of the checkoff increase highlight that the existing checkoff funds result in a $11.20 return on investment to the industry, but since 2014 cattle producers have seen a 43% drop in cattle prices and a 22% drop in the farm share of the retail beef dollar. The “industry” may be making money off the checkoff, but Oklahoma cattle producers are getting less today. […]

Mike Lee’s S.3200 will do away with all the arguments about what to do with check-off monies and the need to read any more of Vaughn Meyers long- winded exposes’!! Just rread the language in Sen. Lee’s introduction to S.3200. That says it all! Dennis Drayton, Lemmon SD

The Kaiser study is highly deceptive. Kaiser never evaluated returns to cattlemen. He evaluated returns to the “industry,” which included packer profits; he did not separate the benefits (costs?) to cow/calf operators and to feeders from packer profits.

Kaiser and the CBB have refused to publicly disclose the data used for the study. Heck, there is so much CON in eCONometrics that reputable academic journals now require disclosure of data. With good reason.

CBB, show us your expenditure data and anything else you provided to Kaiser.
