Dairy Modernization and Revitalization

As farms look to replace depreciated buildings and systems, upgrade, modernize and perhaps expand, they need resources on planning, grants, designs, farmer-to-farmer interactions.

Milk Quality Assurance

It’s not always more milk, but perhaps better milk that can increase cash flow for family living or reinvestment.

Meat Animal Quality Assurance

Every 4-H youth selling a market animal at the fair is a meat producer. Market Animal Quality Assurance (MAQA) is a program designed to educate youth on proper animal care, management, welfare, and husbandry practices.  All youth involved in the market animal sale are required to attend an MAQA training session.
