By law, all producers selling cattle or calves, for any reason and regardless of age or sex, must pay $1-per-head to support beef/veal promotion, research and information through the Beef Promotion and Research Act created by the 1985 Farm Bill. In 2015, Georgia added the Agricultural Commodity Commission for Beef, which is funded through an additional assessment of up to $1 per head. The commission supports research, promotion and education for Georgia’s beef industry.
