South Dakota Beef Checkoff
Helps Fund Culinary Federation Conferences
South Dakota's beef checkoff continues to reach beyond our borders to provide beef information and opportunity to culinary experts as it assisted in funding two American Culinary Federation (ACF) conferences in Chicago and Orlando this year.
Chefs across the Midwest attended the 2017 American Culinary Federation ChefConnect in Chicago hosted by beef checkoffs. South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas work together each year to promote the beef industry through trends and news to foodservice professionals. United States foodservices sell over 7.5 billion pounds of beef each year.
"The ACF conference activities allows the Beef Checkoff a great opportunity to engage with a variety of culinary professionals from around the country. This is an important influential audience who we want to provide opportunities for them to learn the most current information about beef, provide hands-on engagements to inspire additional beef menu items," Holly Swee, South Dakota Beef Industry Council's Director of Nutrition & Consumer Information, said.
