012-Lancaster Farming Saturday, February 10,1990 Pork Board Increases Checkoff Funding DES MOINES, lowa At its January meeting, the National Pork Board took steps to increase 1990 checkoff programming by $1.25 million. The proposal is the result of increased 1990 revenue projec tions and use of surplus funds to bring this year’s $26.25 million budget more in line with the last two years. Program proposals are now being accepted by the board, who will review the proposals and finalize the funding in early March. The Board reviewed prelimin ary 1989 financial figures indicat ing that the checkoff had gener ated $27.1 million, including interest. A total of $28.1 million, including surplus funds from pre vious years, was spent on promo tion, research, and consumer information programs during the year. The Board adopted revised 1990 funding allocations of $16.5 million to the National Pork Pro ducers Council. The money will fund consumer promotion and information, retail merechandis ing, product and production research, foodservice promotion, and foreign market development During his report, Hilman Schroeder, president of the National Pork Board, reported that he believes that the Board and pro ducers have reached a satisfactory solution with the USDA consent ing a disagreement over the inter pretation of how checkoff funds can be used. Schroeder told Board members that USDA now .agrees the law provides for the use of checkoff funds for contacts with state or federal governmental offi cals on non-legislative or regulat ory issues of importance to pork producers. The law prohibits the use of checkoff funds for lobbying pur poses, which the Pork Board never questioned. However, some uncertainties had arisen over the ability to utilize checkoff funds in connection with contacting gov ernmental officials for consulta tion on such issues as food safety, where industry and government coordination is necessary. “Now that we have reached this middle ground, f hope we can pro ceed in our efforts to advance the success of producer checkoff programs,” Schroeder said. “The Board recognizes the law contains certain limitations and among them are checkoff funding of state and national trade association activities.” Schroeder advised pork produc ers who have concerns on public policy issues that do not fall with in the framework of checkoff funded programs to get actively involved in their state and national poik producer associations, who can utilize unrestricted (non checkoff) funds for those purposes.
