The Pork Checkoff is continually updating its resources for producers related to African swine fever.
Pork Quality Assurance® (PQA) Plus, Transport Quality Assurance® (TQA), and Youth Pork Quality Assurance® (Youth PQA) Plus are the programs that collectively make up the pork quality assurance certification programs of the National Pork Board. These programs are available to pork producers, youth, and handlers throughout the New England states at no cost. For more information, contact us at apedemonti@pork.org or 603-504-2679.

The structure of NEPA includes a part-time executive director to represent you and your interests both locally and nationally. That being said, we want to hear from you! What services do you, as a pork producer, need? What educational events can we organize for you? We want your input to help shape our program of activities in the future!
