This past summer I decided that it was time that get Beef Quality Assurance ("BQA") certified through the New York Beef Industry Council, Inc.  Last weekend, I finally completed the Producer Certification Manual for the Mid-Atlantic Region.  I noted the four reasons why I decided to get BQA certified in this blog.  I can't help what wonder what percentage of YPC members are BQA certified and what keeps cattle producers from completing the program.  Any thoughts?
