Referendum Passes to Reinstate Iowa Beef Checkoff
USAgNet - 12/09/2016

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship today announced the passage of the referendum to reinstate the $.50 per head Iowa beef checkoff that was held November 30th.

The preliminary results show a positive vote of 56 percent to 44 percent in favor of reinstating the assessment. A simple majority was needed for passage.

The Department has until December 30th to certify the referendum results. Collection of the checkoff will begin March 1, 2017.

The Iowa beef checkoff will be mandatory, but refunds will be available to interested producers. The federal beef checkoff of $1 per head remains in place and would not be affected by the Iowa vote.
