Quality Assurance & Drug Use Notification Forms
Quality Assurance Training (QA) is required by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) for all livestock producers. This includes youth livestock exhibitors. Logan County Ag Society requires all youth members exhibiting livestock and dairy at the Logan County Fair to complete QA by April 30th to meet ODA’s requirements. If you are exhibiting at the Ohio State Fair, please be aware, you must complete QA 45 days prior to exhibition. ( Pet projects are included in Still Project judging and do not need to complete quality assurance.)
**NEW IN 2025 - QA test out is no longer an option in Logan County. Every 4-H member exhibiting a livestock project must complete Quality Assurance. Please contact your club advisor or the Extension office if you have questions.

Drug Use Notification Forms (DUNF)
According to Ohio Revised, Code 901-19-06 Drug Use Notification Form must be completed by all market and lactating livestock that are exhibited at the Logan County Fair. A Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) must be submitted between June 24 and July 1, 2025 for each market and lactating animal. One form per each animal. No form = no weigh-in and the exhibitor will be ineligible for exhibition and required to remove the animal from the premises. A Junior Fair livestock exhibitor’s project must be drug free when they come into the Fairgrounds to be eligible to participate and sell in the Logan County Junior Fair Livestock Sale. If drugs are determined to be present, the exhibitor and/or exhibitor’s family may be banned from showing in any future Logan County Fairs. The minimum number of years for banning is three (3) years before the right to review. No person shall submit an incomplete, illegible or unsigned DUNF.
