With moves afoot in Congress to modify the nation’s policy on biofuels, this week’s poll question at BEEF is How much impact do you think biofuels have had on your operational expenses?

• Major impact
• Some impact
• No impact

Meanwhile, last week’s online poll question – Should the U.S. beef industry be more aggressive in promoting the use of food irradiation? – garnered more than 100 votes, with a clear and resounding 90% saying “Yes, it’s proven to be an effective, cost-effective, final step.” Meanwhile, just 7% checked “No, let’s continue to spend money finding other interventions,” and 2% didn’t have an opinion.

Thanks for participating.
