The American Society of Agronomy has taken the lead in developing the International Certified Crop Advisor Performance Objectives, last published in 2017. Subsequently each state is required to develop Performance Objectives that deal with the specific needs of agriculture in their state. This is particularly important for Michigan because of the wide variation of climate, soils and crops compared to other Midwestern states.  \nJust as with the International Performance objectives, Michigan’s objectives are divided into four main sections: 1) Nutrient Management, 2) Soil and Water Management, 3) Pest Management; and 4) Crop Management. For those agronomic concepts considered to be universal and not unique to Michigan, this document borrows largely from the International Objectives. Each of these four sections has specific competency areas defined by Performance Objectives. All questions on the Michigan exam will be based on the Michigan Performance Objectives.  \nThese Performance Objectives should also serve as a guide for crop advisers to design a continuing education program that maintains and improves their competence over time.  \nThe Michigan Performance Objectives were last updated in 2024 by the Michigan CCA Exam Committee.  \nPURPOSE OF  \nEXAM  \nThe stated purpose of the exam based on these Performance Objectives is to demonstrate that the Certified Crop Adviser possesses the knowledge that the agricultural industry has deemed important reflecting Michigan crops and conditions.  \n\n| The Michigan State Crop List |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Corn | Cover Crops | Forages | Fruit Crops (orchard and berries) | Potatoes |\n| Wheat and Cereal Grains | Soybeans | Vegetable\u003Cbr>Crops | Sugarbeets | Dry Beans |\n| Vine crops:\u003Cbr>Hops and\u003Cbr>Grapes |  |  |  |  |\n\nNutrient Management  \nCOMPETENCY AREA 1.
