-THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30,1980
County Agent
Says
Walter Rucker
Jr To Vote
Georgia cattle are getting
ready to vote in another na
tional “beeferendum”.
Along with other pro
ducers in the nation, they
voted in the first referendum
in 1977, and while most pro
ducers favored that pro
gram, the favorable vote did
not reach the required two
thirds majority. Through
livestock industry efforts,
the enabling legislation was
amended in 1978 to provide
for approval by a simple ma
jority of those voting.
The new voting will take
place during the period Feb.
19-22 and will again be at the
county ASCS office.
MUST REGISTER
But first you must register
in order to vote. You register
at the ASCS office in the
county where your cattle are
located, and certify that you
have owned cattle during the
preceding 12 months. The
registration period is Jan.
28-Feb. 6.
Then, after a 12 day
waiting period, you may vote
for or against the program.
Absentee forms, both for
registration and for voting,
will be available upon
request-check with your
ASCS.
According to M.K. Cook,
one of the extension animal
scientists, the “beeferen
dum” is an industry-wide ef
fort to establish a program
of beef research, consumer
information, promotion and
foreign market develop
ment.
This will be done if a ma
jority of the cattlemen
voting next month to imple
ment the Beef Research and.
Information Act. *llllß act is
the enabling legislation
which makes it possible for
the cattle industry to
establish, finance and
operate a coordinated self
help program.
MAJOR DIFFERENCES
There are several dif
ferences between this
referendum and the one in
1977. According to Cook, the
primary ones are:

0.3 per cent. The law pro
vides for a maximum rate of
0.5 per cent.
2. The 11 member ex
ecutive committee, elected
by the beef board, will in
clude eight members
representing geographical
regions based on cattle
population; the other three
will be members at large.
The previous order did not
provide for geographical
representation on the ex
ecutive committee.
3. The new order changes
the formula for returning
funds to state beef promotion
organizations which submit
appropriate plans and
budgets. A qualifying state
beef council will be able to
obtain 10 per cent of the
state’s net assessments or an
amount equal to the
organization’s beef promo
tion collection for 12 months
preceding the referendum.
The previous order did not
provide state beef councils
with the 12 month option.
4. Breeding cattle and cat
tle used for commercial milk
production will be exempt
from assessments until time
of slaughter. The previous
order did not assure this ex
emption.
