3 Breaking News. The Youth Pork Quality Assurance Plus online certification program will end at the end of February 2017 and will no longer be an option to take the course in this format. After February 2017, you will have to take a class room session in order to certify for Youth Pork Quality Assurance Plus. If you are in need of recertification and usually complete it online, please log in and recertify before the conclusion of this program. If you would rather take the classroom training/certification, please mark your calendar for the Swine Project Boot Camp on March 19 at the Fairgrounds.
