The Youth Pork Quality Assurance program was launched on Feb. 1, 2004. This new certification program will allow youth ages 9-18 to participate in a nationwide program that emphasizes producing safe, wholesome and nutritious pork for consumers.
The Youth PQA program is modeled from the Pork Quality Assurance LEVEL III program. Both programs emphasize the 10 good production practices that are important for pork producers to complete as they demonstrate their commitment to “quality assured” pork production.
The Illinois Youth Educator is Daniel Jennings from Jennings Farms. You may email him at djjennin@uiuc.edu. His phone number is (815) 397-7714
