The Iowa Pork Industry Center and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are teaming
up to provide training for pork producers and others who need certification in the Pork Quality
Assurance Plus© (PQA Plus©) program. One certification session has been set for November 8th
in Washington County.

Washington County administrative assistant Nancy Adrian said the session will be held at the
Washington County Extension office, 2223 250th St. Washington, and will be taught by ISU
Extension and Outreach swine program specialist Tom Miller.

"The PQA Plus© session is set for 7 to 9 p.m.," she said. "Anyone who plans to attend should let
us know as soon as possible to ensure that we have adequate materials for everyone."

Cost for this certification program is $25 per person and is payable at the door. To preregister,
contact the Washington County Extension office at 877- 435-7322 or 319-653-4811.
