GREAT NEWS FOR HAWAII BEEF PROMOTION!

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which administers the Beef Check-Off, has approved a State of Origin Prepayment Option. This rule gives producers the opportunity to voluntarily prepay the $1 per head check-off to the Qualified State Beef Council located in the producer's State of Residence prior to sale, effective October 1, 2002.

What this means is that producers retaining ownership can prepay the dollar to Hawaii before the cattle are shipped to the mainland for feeding and eventual slaughter. Then, upon slaughter, the producer presents to the slaughterhouse a paper showing the check-off was already paid, so that the slaughterhouse does not collect the dollar again. In the past, all of the check-off dollars for cattle shipped to the Mainland were benefiting the State where the cattle were eventually slaughtered. Now that dollar can be prepaid and stay in Hawaii for Beef promotion here. The rules state: "Any producer who is shipping cattle of his own production out of the state for feeding, finishing, backgrounding, or grazing, & plans to sell the cattle rather than return them to their state of residence, MAY elect to prepay the assessment to the state beef council in his state of residence if so desired."
