Fayetteville 4-H Club Meeting
Agenda – April 11, 2010

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Again, we want to stress that all SWINE Exhibitors must attend a QA session conducted by someone who is Certified Quality Assurance Plus (i.e. an Extension Office Agent or an FFA Advisor). Lory has spoke with Mr. Winkle and he is not certified to-date, so if you are planning on taking it through Fayetteville FFA, you will need to attend a County Session. Swine Exhibitors are not permitted to take the test this year.

Also, if you are a first year MARKET PROJECT Exhibitor, you must attend a QA session.

Highland County Quality Assurance Sessions

As of April 6th. John Grimes, Extension Agent, has not been certified to teach QA for Swine Exhibitors. If you plan on attending one of Highland County’s sessions, please contact the Highland County Extension Office at (937) 393-1918 to make sure John has been certified. When I spoke with him he said he plans on becoming certified soon so he can teach the sessions. Please check their website at http://highland.osu.edu for dates, times, and locations.

CHICKEN INFORMATION -- Via an e-mail from Becky in answer to Lory’s questions (copy is available on the table, we encourage all chicken exhibitors to take a copy of this e-mail). There is also an order form available on the table for ordering your chickens.
