People should consider that this gives KS more power over NCBA, and NOT over the CBB which controls which projects get funded.

Those states sending state checkoff money to NCBA are FEDERATION division, NOT the POLICY division, which is the one this anti-NCBA diatribe is trying to kill.

States may have their own reasons for funding additional national checkoff projects with state share of the dollar. Most prevalent is that more money spent in 'cattle rich', 'consumer poor' states means less money available to develop more consumer friendly beef products and to promote beef in those high consumer to producer rations states.
