I am not sure I won't ask for a refund
on my checkoff, and I am not sure I am
getting value from ABP. That said, I
sure do NOT approve of ALMA or the
moves of the AB Gov of late. I think
if there is demand for specific product
attributes (hormone free, age verified,
etc) then someone needs to pay for it.
If all producers are forced to do the
steps outlined in ALMA we have just
given away a lot of our marketing
leverage as individual producers. I
think the population of cattle ranchers
will decline for sure, I am not sure
about the cattle population.
Quite frankly I am not sure anyone is
really thinking these days. As for a
plebiscite, nice idea but it is not
going to happen. I suggested some
ways/means to implement a refundable
checkoff at the local policy meeting,
but I suspect that the structure of ABP
results in being bogged down in a lot
of the what ifs/don't offend, rather
than taking sides and moving forward.
