State Representative Mike Beltz says the North Dakota Legislature may not need to act on proposed corn checkoff legislation. According to Beltz, there is a chance an agreement will be met between the North Dakota Corn Utliization Council and North Dakota Corn Growers Association. “It sounds hopeful that they can work it out; the best outcome for them to agree amongst themselves.” With this agreement, the NDCGA would receive a grant from the checkoff rather than making requests for individual projects. The original bill would have split checkoff funds 50-50 between the two organizations.
