FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT URGES FARMERS TO VOTE IN BEEF REFERENDUM Registration has passed and voting will take place July 5-15 for the national Beef Referendum at County ASCS offices. Marion Stackhouse, Indiana Farm Bureau president, is urging cattlemen to make their wishes known in this very important decision. In the referendum, if two-thirds of the cattlemen voting nationally approve the order, then threetenths of one per cent of the price of all cattle sold will be assessed to fund the programs administered by a beef board composed of 68 cattlemen. “The beef referendum is the result of a long-time study by cattlemen to try and get promotion and market development funds to make their industry more profitable,” Stackhouse said. “It is not necessarily a government program but a cattlemen's program with the help of government,” he went on. The dairy and poultry producers used the same type of procedure to get their own programs going and it has worked well for them.

“Basically this is a program to be run by cattlemen. It will have the help of Secretary of Agriculture to see that funds are used for what the enabling legislation calls for,” he continued. “Critics are right when they say it is a mandatory checkoff at the time of payment. But every farmer can receive those funds back. It is a good feature of the law. Because if it doesn’t do what farmers want it to accomplish, they can get their money back. This makes the people running the program very responsive to the wishes of cattlemen. “Farmers have the right to vote their own wishes and Farm Bureau encourages them to make their thoughts known by voting.” NOTICE TO BIDDERS Notice is hereby given by the undersigned that sealed proposals or bids will be received by the Walkerton, Polk, Lincoln and Johnson Ambulance Board at the Clerk Treasurer’s Office, 510 Roosevelt Road, Walkerton, Indiana on Wednesday, the 13th day of July up to the hour of 4:30 P.M.
