Boy, everyone is really jumping on the bandwagon about the new sampling guidance. More than 250 folks have taken the GAP class and we are issuing sampling certificates every day. More and more ag agents are getting trained to be trainers every week. I think the program is a hit!
The KFMA is trying to get USDA funding to get some research done on the economic impact of the sampling. This grant would also pay for a person to visit markets to gauge compliance and make recommendations to us on improvements to our educational program. I do think this is very important to keep the program alive. One complaint and the DPH may withdraw their approval.
