CCA Program
The CCA program is a nationally recognized, voluntary certification program developed through the collaborative efforts of the public sector and the agricultural industry to ensure high standards for crop advisers. It was established to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the U.S. and Canada and is administered locally by 37 state, regional, and provincial boards called “Local Boards” and is overseen by the International Board of CCA.
CCA Informational Video
Ask your agronomist or consultant if they are a CCA. You would be asking if they have shown the commitment, experience, and education required to be a certified professional. The Certified Crop Adviser program ensures you have a knowledgeable and trustworthy agronomic professional working for you.
To raise awareness, ICCA created a series of short promotional videos consisting of remarkable testimonials given by growers from all over North America. The project highlights why growers seek out and rely on CCAs as partners in business success. To view, click on videos.
ICCA Strategic Plan
ICCA will be reaching out to local boards in the coming months to work on goals that are outlined in the 2017-2019 ICCA Strategic Plan. These will include New marketing committee for the ICCA program, and a Taskforce for Self-Assessment Survey (help create questions, review data/identify strengths/weaknesses, help local boards with needs).
