Collapse ▲The North Carolina Cattlemen’s Association (NCCA) has announced that the N.C. Cattle Industry Assessment Referendum vote will take place on October 30, 2024. Cooperative Extension offices in each county will be the polling places. The polling place for Franklin County will be the Ag Services Center, 103 S. Bickett Blvd., Louisburg, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
The referendum will be to assess all cattle sold and marketed in North Carolina one dollar per head for the purposes of advancing the cattle industry in the state. The money collected will continue to fund the following five areas: youth programs, cattle research, education, promotion of North Carolina cattle and beef, and issues management. The North Carolina dairy industry will also benefit from the funds
collected, as a portion of the income will be allocated to the same areas within the dairy sector.
The assessment will be for a period of six years with a recurring referendum if requested. Producers will be eligible for a full refund of their North Carolina assessment by request within 60 days of the sale of the animal with proof of sale, a provision unavailable in the national program due to federal law.
All cattle owners who are at least 18 years of age as of October 30, 2024, will be eligible to vote. Voting will take place at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension county offices. All eligible voters must vote in their county of residence. Absentee ballots will be collected starting October 1, 2024. Absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension office. The North
Carolina Cattlemen’s Association can assist with directing you to your local office.
