The National Pork Board’s Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA Plus) program has exceeded expectations since its launch in June 2007, says Erik Risa, Education program manager for the National Pork Board.
In the first 15 months of the program, more than 18,000 producers have been trained. The number of advisors has also surpassed goals with more than 800 individuals conducting training sessions.
“We are extremely pleased with the success we’ve seen with the PQA Plus program and the number of producers who have been certified under the new program,” says Risa. “This is just one of the many programs the pork industry has in place that serves to maintain a safe, high-quality supply of pork. All of these programs fall under the ‘We Care’ philosophy that our entire industry is committed to,” he adds.
Something bad has happened to you. It wasn't deserved and it wasn't fair. The people who did it are callous and heartless (at least in regard to you), and lazy, or they would not have done it. But they did it. It's over. It's done. You can whine and wallow in self-pity and martyrdom or pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with life and the business of raising quality pork.
