Wisconsin's voice is being heard on the national scene regarding use of beef checkoff dollars.

Curt Larson, President & CEO of Equity Cooperative Livestock also is serving as president of the WI Beef Council.  Larson explains to Pam Jahnke that discussion is currently ongoing about channels where beef producers checkoff dollars will be spent.
