Lonesome Lands: Inside the Beef Checkoff Scam with Vaughn Meyer

Jim Mundorf sits down with South Dakota cattle rancher and former Checkoff Beef Board Member, Vaughn Meyer to talk about the failures of the Beef Checkoff program. Jim starts off by talking about the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming Act that has been introduced in the Senate to stop Checkoff dollars from funding lobbyists that work against farmers and ranchers. He then gives an example of how the National Cattlemens Beef Association is able to hide where their money goes.
