<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Third-party verification is a topic that is not uncommon to find producers in the North Central Region talking about. What has been a little harder to find are programs that provide third-party verification that
would not “break the bank.” Would you like to find a program that would verify your process in a way that would help you achieve your marketing goals? Are you looking at adding a logo to your packaging to help you tell your story? Join Illinois-Indiana Sea
Grant on March 24, 2021, at 11 am eastern standard time to learn about USDA’s Process Verified Program from our guest speakers and USDA representatives Jeffery Waite and Angie Snyder. They will be presenting information about the Process Verified Program and
how you can customize your program to fit your farms’ verification needs.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
