Plan of Work: Commodity Production and Instruction
Outcome: Initial Outcome
With recent changes and adaption to technology in the beef industry producers want to be made aware of best standard practices for their farms. Agriculture remains a very controversial industry to the public, so animal husbandry is always at the forefront of every producers mind. To combat these issues we hosted a Chute Side BQA. Here producers go to hear from industry professionals, and get hands on experience implementing new management tactics.
43 producers attended the Chute Side BQA training. 22 of them took the test to become fully BQA certified. The participants that didn't take the test already had the general BQA certification. 38 producers expressed that they learned something new and that they enjoyed this hands on training. Everyone enjoyed hearing from the industry professionals.
