This form will be used by some beef producers in Montana (and any other state subject to a similar court order) who request that a portion of their required Federal assessment be retained by the Qualified State Beef Councils (QSBC).
On June 21, 2017, a U.S. District Court Judge in Montana issued a preliminary injunction enjoining USDA from continuing to allow Montana Beef Council (MBC) to use the assessments that it is qualified to collect under the Beef checkoff Program to fund advertising campaigns, unless a cattle producer provides prior affirmative consent authorizing MBC to retain a portion of the cattle producer's assessment. Without the producer's permission for the state to retain a portion of the Federal assessment, MBC will likely have insufficient funds and could be forced to cease operations.
