I will also conduct these certifications during the week, please contact the Extension Office at 615-563-2554 to schedule a time.

Livestock producers applying for TAEP Farm Investment dollars are eligible for 35% cost-share. To increase cost share to 50%, producers must attend The University of Tennessee Extension Advanced Master Beef (AMB) program. Producers which have graduated from past TAEP programs prior to 2016, will not qualify for the 50% TAEP cost share and must renew their AMB certification. Please contact the Cannon County Extension Office to verify when you attended the most recent AMBP course.

The next Master Beef Certification meeting begins on Tuesday, October 8th at the Centertown Community at 6:00 P.M. Participants must attend all four sessions to obtain you Master Beef certification.
