If you file "Schedule F" with your Fed taxes it is a farm. I would think that 100% of the farms in the U.S. are Family Farms because approx. 100% of the people in the U.S. are associated with family.

You know without a doubt they will run an ad in Beef Magazine and ever so carefully attempt to debunk the WHO position while continuing to preach to the choir. :lol:

Re. 'the point'.......OK, so, it looks as if the point for some is that it's more 'fun' to take jabs at NCBA than to do something to benefit the cattle business. It would be interesting to see some honest specifics as to why that might be the case, other than to support the few organizations which seem to be making a career of trying to 'take down' NCBA.

Re. the lobbyist: he has nothing to do with the Check Off. The two divisions of NCBA truly are separate. There have been MANY reviews, and YES, the firewall DOES exist and is effective. NCBA employees must account for there time in 15 minute increments according to which division the work is for, to assure proper accounting and separation of Check Off work from NCBA organization work.
BTW, the original point in the Beef Check Off law requiring existing organizations only for contracts was to assure no new cattle producer organization was formed for the purpose of using the check off as their support. The cattle producers from the several organizations worked to form the Beef Check off, working from the base of the previous voluntary check off of several meats which comprised the National Livestock and Meat Board. They were very wary of the problems other commodity check offs' had experienced, and worked from the basis of the existing state beef councils, in their determination to keep the new organization as 'lean' as possible, with the money used for the promotion and research as exists today, with overhead as low as possible. I believe it is a very good outfit, in spite of the powerful groups which have tried from the beginnings of the idea of the current Beef Check Off to this very day to put a stop to it!

When the NCBA workers take a 30 minute break, do they do it on "Check Off" time or "other" NCBA time?
