Some Michigan Christmas tree growers are upset because the federal government has decided to stop a $0.15 fee to promote the industry.

The money collected from growers through the fee would be similar to campaigns promoting milk, beef, and eggs.

The Obama administration has changed course after critics called it a tax on Christmas trees.

Some growers say they're losing sales to artificial trees made overseas.
