STUDY MATERIALS / PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:
The Certified Crop Adviser
(CCA) program is a membership service of the American Society
of Agronomy (ASA). Any public, commercial or independent
adviser, who counsels farmers, ranchers or other agricultural
entities
and can meet the rigorous standards of the CCA program is
encouraged to participate.
The requirements include passing a
comprehensive international exam and a state, regional or
provincial (local) exam evaluating
knowledge of soil fertility, soil and water management, integrated
pest management and crop production. The applicant is required
to document their education and experience, up to four years
depending on their educational background plus sign and agree
to uphold the CCA code of ethics. To maintain the CCA status,
a certificant must maintain 40 hours of continuing education
every two years.
Since 1992, more than 20,000 individuals have voluntarily
sat for the CCA exams and of these approximately 10,000 have
satisfactorily met the requirements and become certified.
CCAs will play a critical role in the future of agriculture
as they advise agricultural producers. Through their skill
application, they will help keep agriculture competitive
in a global economy while aiding the process of sustaining
our natural resources and protecting our environment.
