Thankyou.  \nCertified Crop Adviser (CCA) Background  \nThe International Certified Crop Adviser (ICCA) program was developed by the American Society of Agronomy (ASA) in cooperation with agribusiness retail dealers, cooperatives and manufacturers, state and national trade associations, the USDA, and independent consultants. The representatives from these groups acted as the CCA Steering Committee. Upon their recommendation, the CCA program was founded on four principles.  \n1. The ICCA program should certify credentials at the base standards levels and initially should not require a college degree to be eligible, but require all applicants to pass an international CCA exam.  \n2. The ICCA program must be administered in the states/provinces. Each state/province that participates will nominate a local CCA board to review applications and develop a local board exam.  \n3. The ICCA program must be prepared to change as government policy changes.  \n4. CCA participants, once certified, will have to subscribe to the Code of Ethics, participate in continuing education programs to maintain their certification, and pay an annual renewal fee.  \nThe local CCA board that will administer the ICCA program will have to consist of at least seven members with at least one representative from agribusiness, the state/provinci","cbCailqqTEVPgIKQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailqqTEVPgIKQ","pdf",803180,"English","# Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Background\n## CCA Certification Steps\n## Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program—Instructions\n## Application for Verification of Credentials\n## Code of Ethics\n## Professional Expertise\n## Professional Experience Form—Example\n## Professional Experience Form\n## CCA Reference Form—Employer (Form 1)\n## CCA Reference Form—Client (Form 2)\n## Summary of College/Short Course Work\n## Certification Maintenance","[{\"question\":\"What are the core principles behind the ICCA/CCA certification program?\",\"answer\":\"The program is designed to certify at base standards, initially not requiring a college degree if applicants pass the international CCA exam.
