Crop Production Economics  \nFOREWORD  \nThroughout history, a nation's success has been directly related to the success of its agriculture. Today, with less than 2 percent of the population engaged in production agriculture, the margin for error is small, and producers rely heavily on the advice of others. The Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program came into existence to insure that growers receive sound advice and recommendations.  \nThe CCA program is built on the concept that there are certain things one must know in order to provide sound advice to producers. These topics are determined by asking a wide array of agriculturists involved in all aspects of crop production to tell us what a Certified Crop Adviser must know. We use this information to create the Competency Areas and Performance Objectives that follow. Performance Objectives are the heart of the CCA Program, as they outline the basic knowledge and skills required by individuals providing advice to crop producers. By mastering the Performance Objectives, one will possess the knowledge that the agricultural industry has deemed important for a Certified Crop Adviser to know.  \nThese Performance Objectives are dynamic, and are upgraded as the needs of the crop production industry evolve. The original performance objective document was developed by Dr. Jim Vorst of Purdue University in 1992. Every four years, the exam modules are extensively reviewed and updated by a committee representing both the public and private sectors from across the U.S. and Canada. The revised modules are then reviewed by Certified Crop Advisers who provide input on the relative importance of the Performance Objectives, and on areas that need to be added or deleted. This ensures that the CCA program will remain a viable and useful tool which recognizes the high level of competence displayed by those who choose to earn this designation.  \nTo help you organize your learning, the Performance Objectives are divided into four modules: Nutrient Management; Soil and Water Management; Pest Management; and Crop Management. Each module contains several Competency Areas, which identify needed knowledge and skill areas. Within each Competency Area are specific Performance Objectives which describe the activity to be performed to demonstrate competency. All the questions on the international exam are based directly on these Performance Objectives. To assist in mastering the competencies required by CCA’s, a glossary of many of the terms used for each module is available as a separate document.  \nLastly, ","cbCaivCGhwON8R14","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivCGhwON8R14","pdf",213082,39,"English","# FOREWORD\n# NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY AREAS\n## Basic Concepts of Plant Nutrition\n## Basic Concepts of Soil Fertility\n# SOIL AND WATER MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY AREAS\n## Basic Soil Properties\n## Site Characterization\n# PEST MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY AREAS\n## Basic Concepts of Pest Management\n## Sampling and Monitoring\n# CROP MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY AREAS\n## Cropping Systems\n## Hybrid and Variety Selection","[{\"question\":\"What are the Performance Objectives for the Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program?\",\"answer\":\"They define the basic knowledge and skills required for individuals who provide advice to crop producers, organized by competency areas and learning modules.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the CCA Performance Objectives updated over time?\",\"answer\":\"Exam modules are reviewed and updated every four years by a committee representing public and private sectors across the U.S. and Canada, then reviewed by Certified Crop Advisers for relevance and completeness.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the international exam structured in relation to the Performance Objectives?\",\"answer\":\"The exam questions are based directly on the Performance Objectives across four modules: Nutrient Management; Soil and Water Management; Pest Management; and Crop Management.\"}]","INTERNATIONAL CERTIFIED CROP ADVISER PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES - Effective October 2017 | PDF",1790415460,98]
