Six years ago, an economics journal suggested that milk producers who pay "check-off" allocations may be better served spending that money on research, rather than on milk promotion and marketing. Now, Cornell University agricultural economists say that the mathematical model used in that study may be incorrect due to erroneous assumptions, and in some cases money spent on consumer promotion will pay off better.
