Welcome to Independent Beef Association of North Dakota

 The following process will be used after the ND state beef checkoff is collected, beginning August 1, 2015, for producers that choose to refund the new $1 per head ND beef checkoff.According to the new legislation, and consistent with other ND commodity refund procedures, a producer may request a refund application within 60 days after the date of the sale of cattle upon which the ND state beef checkoff was collected. This request may be made:

• Orally, including a phone request or personal office visit;
• In writing and mailed; or
• Electronically via email

Upon receiving a uniquely numbered refund application form from the ND Beef Commission, the producer must complete the form and return it to the ND Beef Commission together with a copy of the record of the assessment paid, within 90 days after the date of the sale. Detailed directions will be included. The competed refund application may be returned to the ND Beef Commission office 

• In person;
• By mail; or 
• In one .pdf file scanned and emailed to the Commission.
