  1. Kevin Bacon and Eggs- The American Egg Board plans to use Kevin Bacon as an ad campaign to help people better learn about eggs and their nutritional value. Egg consumption has risen up over the last few years. People are eating them more and more and seeing how good they are and how good they are for you. Eggs can be healthy if they are cooked and eating in a healthy way of course.

  2. No meaningful reform for Beef Checkoff
    The MOU fails to make revisions that would result in reform for the way the checkoff operates. beef checkoff would ensure that control of the program is held by producers who are actively involved in production agriculture; would exclusively promote domestic product; would exclude processors from positions of leadership and financial responsibility, and would review referendums executed by USDA every five years offering a program recall in the event of a simple majority vote; and would prohibit. People are finding that the beef checkoff is only a waist of time and needs to be eliminated or a lot of changes need to be made.

  3. National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson said that ongoing conversations about how to improve the beef checkoff have again failed to lead to greater producer comfort with how the checkoff is handled and strongly opposed the Beef Checkoff Enhancement Working Group Memorandum of Understanding on the checkoff that was agreed upon today.Since the very beginning of this process several years ago, NFU has hoped that these ongoing discussions would lead to a beef checkoff program that was not controlled by a single policy organization and focused its resources primarily on research and promotion instead of lobbying,” said Johnson. “When it became clear that these changes would never happen, NFU withdrew from the process altogether.”
