What industries currently use Check-off Programs?
Most check-off programs are operated within the agriculture sector. They include the National Dairy Board (Got Milk? ®), Cattlemen’s Beef Board (Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner®), Cotton Board (The Fabric of Our Lives®), plus several more. Outside of agriculture, there is the check-off program for the propane industry, the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). Combined, these boards/councils raise almost $800 million dollars to promote their respective products to consumers every year.
