In addition to completing the educational module for level one, the participant has to develop and implement an operating plan and keep up records docu- menting the implementation of that operating plan. All of that is then evaluated by a sec- ond party be it a veterinarian or perhaps Extension. Those completing level two get a process verified certificate. Each bale of wool can then be stenciled with AWA’s process verified mark, Pearce said. Participants have to go through an evaluation every other year to stay current for level two. Once those two levels are completed, a participant may move to the third and fi nal level known as AWA certifi ed. This level requires a participant to go through a third-party audit by an external company. Once completed, the participant gets an AWA certifi ed certifi cate, a stencil mark on each bale of wool, and the ability to use AWA’s logo on promotional materials. If so desired, the ranch may also be listed on the AWA website as an AWA-certi- fi ed ranch. Again, to keep current, the participant has to complete the secondary audit every other year and the third party audit at least every four years. Besides the bales of wool being clearly marked, buyers have access to the E-certifi cate which Pearce said is similar to a test certifi cate. Finally, Pearce told par- ticipants that the program standards are available through ASI upon request. The on- line educational module is in the works and will hope- fully be available within the next couple of months.

Slaughter cows: utility $56- Aviles-Rosa and Virginia Tech researchers Erica Feuerbacher and Mizuho Nita, will test the capacity and capability of detection canines as an early detection tool against invasive species and diseases. “This project will allow us to investigate the fundamental capability of the canine nose to identify and detect agricultural pests and diseases, which cost multi-millions of dollars in damage annually,” Hall said. “While exploring the sensitiv- ity and resolution of the dog’s nose, we also will evaluate the capacity of already scent trained dogs in sport scent work through the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) across the U.S., as a means to support farmers with an early detection tool for agricultural diseases.” Their research is being bol- stered by a $475,000 grant from the Agriculture and Food Re- search Initiative of the USDA, National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Cooperative State Research Education and Exten- sion Service. Hall, believes detection dogs have the ability with their olfac- tory sensitivity to detect these threats and hopes that canine detection technology can be easily deployable in the agri- cultural industry and be cost- effective at the same time. Early detection would not only limit the impact of these threats to agriculture, but also help reduce the use of pes- ticides. Currently, efforts to detect and eradicate powdery mildew and the spotted lan- ternfly are neither practical nor cost-effective. However, a developed canine detection program in rural communi- ties, where canines are readily available and underutilized, could be the answer. Utilizing equipment and methods already in place at the Canine Olfaction Lab, Hall hopes to be able to train FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT ONE OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS: dogs to detect powdery mildew and spotted lanternfly eggs Doug Slattery Tracy Woods Jarrod Payne Jeff Callaway in a short period of time.
