Just a note to remind those interested that their chance to get back some of the money deducted from their cattle sales by Alberta Beef Producers in the last 6 months ends on Feb 1. You can download a refund form from the ABP website.
I don't want to trash ABP because I think the delegates and staff are mostly well meaning. I did request 1/2 of ABP's share (about 33% overall) of my check off deductions for a couple of reasons:
1. Because I can.
2. To reinforce to ABP who's money it really is and that they receive it at my pleasure.
3. To lobby for full disclosure for their salaries and expenses.
4. To remind them that bumping the check off is not on the books. Does anyone believe that we would still be paying $3.00 if refundable hadn't happened?
5. To afford some of my memberships.
Regards all. A nice break in the weather.
