Beef Industry Events Planned for July 22, at North Dakota State Fair in Minot.

Ballot Initiative Community Forum
The coalition opposing the proposed Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks Initiative will host a community forum tomorrow, Tuesday, July 22, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. CT on the Dakota Talent Stage on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds in Minot.
The Stockmen's Association is opposed to this measure, as it would create a massive – $300 to $400 million per biennium – fund that could be used by government agencies and non-profit organizations to purchase land and compete with farmers and ranchers. The measure also mandates that 75 percent of this fund would have to be spent annually, whether or not there is a need. And, because the measure is Constitutional, it would be difficult to change or eliminate.
Measure backers are gathering signatures to get the measure on the November ballot. Come and learn about the measure's flaws, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so too so they can make an informed decision.
Jim Olson of KXMC will moderate the discussion at the State Fair tomorrow. Because the event will be televised, it is especially important that there is a strong showing of agriculturists who are opposed to the measure.
The Beef Industry Military Appreciation Day is also at the State Fair tomorrow. Join fellow Stockmen's Association members and industry partners in saluting active servicemen and servicewomen with a free beef meal and children's activities from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT near the Commercial II Exhibit Building. We are seeking volunteers to help serve and salute these American heroes.
