The 100-member board is authorized by the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985. The secretary of agriculture selects the appointees nominated by beef, veal, dairy, and importers-certified organizations.
Since 1966, Congress has authorized the establishment of 22 industry-funded research and promotion boards.  They empower farmers and ranchers to leverage their own resources to develop new markets, strengthen existing markets, and conduct important research and promotion activities. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service provides oversight, paid for by industry assessments, which ensures fiscal accountability and program integrity for participating stakeholders.
