Palmer announced a Nov. 15 deadline for filing briefs on evidence received during the hearing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture published an industry-proposed order outlining procedures to guide program operation under authority of the Beef Research and Information Act. The proposal would authorize a Beef Board, composed of producers, to collect assessments on the sales of cattle and to use the funds for cattle and beef research and information activities. During hearing sessions in six cities across the country, more than 150 cattle industry representatives and other interested persons testified on the need for a national beef research and in formation program and on provisions the order should contain. Any interested person may now file written arguments or briefs based on evidence received at the hearing, and should cite, when possible, the page or pages where the evidence appears in the hearing transcript.
