    I agree 100% with Grassfarmers comments in regards to marketing. That is an underhanded way of getting someone else to pay for their advertising

        It's a widespread and long standing tradition though - we had similar levies in Scotland as far back as the 1970's always the primary producer paying to promote the end product. I never thought it strange until someone here brought up the steel/car analogy. Now I can't get past that. Don't know of any other industry that has this funding structure other than agriculture.

            I will second BFWS experience re: the ABP having no interest in why a refund is requested. They could make use of the opportunity to feel out producers but don't. Don't care about being more relevant apparently.

            FWIW I have been taking back a small half of my check off deductions mostly as a matter of principle. Never a question asked.
