PER CURIAM.
Michael Jacobson petitions this court for review of the United States Department
of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) decision not to hold a referendum on its beef checkoff
program. Because we lack jurisdiction to review the USDA’s decision, we dismiss the
petition without prejudice.
Absent a statutory provision conferring jurisdiction upon the courts of appeals,
the district courts have exclusive jurisdiction to review those agency decisions subject
to judicial review. See Jaunich v. United States Commodity Futures Trading Comm’n,
50 F.3d 518, 520 (8th Cir. 1995); Noland v. United States Civil Serv. Comm’n,
544
F.2d 333, 334 (8th Cir. 1976) (per curiam). The Beef Promotion and Research Act, 7
U.S.C. §§ 2901-2911, which governs the beef checkoff program, does not include such
a grant of jurisdiction.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition without prejudice.

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
