Dear HCN,
I was
dismayed to learn of the plight of cattle growers who are forced to
pay “checkoff” fees of a dollar a head. In the simple interest of
fairness to cattle farmers and the American public, we should call
for the immediate elimination of both checkoff fees and subsidized
grazing privileges on public
lands.
