Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Education
  • Animal Science
  • Extension Education

Background:

  • Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is crucial for the future of the beef industry.
  • Producer education is essential for implementing and maintaining BQA standards.
  • Traditional educational methods may have limitations in reaching a wide audience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a satellite video program for Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) education.
  • To assess producer perceptions of BQA importance and their willingness to adopt improved practices.
  • To gauge producer interest in utilizing videoconferencing for future agricultural programming.

Main Methods:

  • A 1.5-hour satellite video program on BQA was delivered to 27 downlink sites.

  • Participants (n=368) completed demographic forms and pre- and post-conference evaluations.
  • A toll-free number facilitated viewer questions during and after the program.

    • Main Results:

    • Participants strongly agreed that BQA is important for the beef industry's future (mean=4.6).
    • Over 88% intended to review production strategies for beef quality improvement.
    • 72% of participants favored increased use of videoconferencing for agricultural programming.

    Conclusions:

    • Satellite video programming is an effective method for delivering Beef Quality Assurance education to producers.
    • The program successfully reinforced the importance of BQA and encouraged a commitment to quality improvement.
    • Videoconferencing is a well-received and potentially valuable tool for future agricultural outreach and education.
