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 overarching purpose of the Northeast Pork Association (NEPA) is to provide producers in the northeast access to meaningful Pork Checkoff resources to help promote, support, and grow the pork industry. NEPA will provide easier access to National Pork Board professional staff, producer education opportunities in areas such as swine health, production, and nutrition, certification programs such as PQA Plus® , and increased engagement and input in Checkoff programming. 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!
Spices are a great way to add bold flavor without adding fat. Serve with Okra Corn Salad and Baked Grits Wedges.
