Wilkinson is a nominee by Gov. Robert Casey, but is at odds with the Casey administration’s control of PMMB funds. In discussing his first term on the board, Wilkinson said, “I had some priority issues when I came on, and I’m sorry to say I haven’t gotten them all accomplished yet I think with the budget restraints as most all of the department have found that some of these things had to be put aside. “Through our fees and licensing we raise about $1,300,000 a year with the Beef Council on the October Beef Month promotion through the use of special napkins, placemats and crew buttons. Laneco Supermarkets, a retail chain consisting of 24 stores, dis played special Beef Month point of-purchase materials. County beef organizations have actively placed foodservice and retail materials at local restaurants and grocery stores. The Beef Council also sponsored two retail meat merchandising seminars and cosponsored, with Dairy Council, Inc., a dietitian conference.

According to Wilkinson, the agency is short a number of audi tors and expects to lose several mote through early retirement Beef Month state's beef industry. The month of activities will cul minate with Beef Day at Penn State, on October 26 for the Penn State versus West Virginia foot ball game. A special beef pressbox luncheon is planned, and the Beef Council will sponsor a tailgate appreciation dinner for various faculty representatives at Penn State. The October Beef Month prom otion is just part of a coordinated marketing program funded by the $1 per head beef checkoff program.
