Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is giving the organizers of a national beef checkoff petition drive another 60 days to collect enough signatures to bring the promotion and research program up for a vote. R-CALF USA is behind this effort and originally had one year to secure the 88,000 signatures necessary for a vote. The petition drive began in July of last year and currently has less than 20,000 signatures.
