A couple of reminders for those who wish to become a CCA, or those wish to add to their specializations.
The Ohio Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Exam Training program will be held virtually for 2021 on January 5, 6, 7 & 8. This is normally an intensive two-day workshop but will be spread across four days this year, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and adjourn by 1:00 p.m. each day. Provided as a great basic agronomy course, it will be used as a reminder on how best to prepare for the local CCA exam.
