Advance Master Beef classes announced

The advance master beef program is an in-depth program being offered to local cattle producers by UT Extension.  The Advanced Master Beef Producer Program is an extensive educational program that was developed to provide information to assist you and other Tennessee cow-calf producers to improve the profitability of cow-calf operations. This is a multi-county program and will be attended by your fellow cattle producers in neighboring counties. You will need to register at either the Fayette or Hardeman County Extension office and pay the registration fee by Jan. 8.
Producers enrolling in the Advanced Master Beef Producer program will have the opportunity to attend multiple sessions of topics that focus on cow-calf production, marketing and issues facing the beef industry.  To complete the Advanced Master Beef Producer Program you must attend seven of the sessions.
Producers that complete the Master Beef Producer Program have the opportunity to qualify for a $100 scholarship provided by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture that will be applied toward your $225 enrollment fee.  This scholarship is provided through funding by the Tennessee Agriculture Enhancement Program.  To qualify for the scholarship, you must have a “Premise ID Number” as well as  a “Beef Quality Assurance” (BQA) Certification number.
