Sheep and Goat Producers Approve Checkoff

January 16, 2004

Jan. 16, 2004 -- On Tuesday, sheep and goat producers in Alabama voted 101-43 in favor of a voluntary checkoff program for promotion and research into their industry. The 50-cents-a-head checkoff will begin as soon as collection systems can be put into place by the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries.

A committee of producer-elected farmers will determine how the checkoff money will be spent.
