But, on Tuesday, May 10th, if you don't stop for a few minutes, go to your County Extension Office and vote, you'll miss the referendum that decides the fate of the Beef Checkoff Program. Just a couple of years ago, our industry was being beaten up, and we were backing up . . . taking it. But we got our backs up and did something. We drew a line in the dust. We began to fight back. And you know what . . . it's working. Many people are eating beef more often, and the newspaper headlines read that beef is coming back. Now, we're not telling you how to vote. That's your business. But, on Tuesday, May 10th, the National Beef Checkoff Program is going to continue, or it's going to stop dead in its tracks. It's totally up to you. So take a trip to your County Extension Office and vote. You'll be glad you did.
