How hard would it be to have a simple checkoff box on the livestock manifest:
"Do you wish to have $2 deducted per animal to go to the ABP?"
Yes or No.
If the ABP provides value people would support it. If people are concerned some people weren't paying their fair share for promoting or protecting the industry, the question could be:
"Which organization do you wish your $2 checkoff fund to go to?"
-ABP
-Western Stockgrowers
-NFU
-Alberta cattle feeders
We would then see which organization actually provides value? I would suggest if this option was available ABP funding would drop dramatically and that would be a good thing as they might actually start to work for the producers.
