Striving to promote Alabama agriculture
Facing Agriculture Issues In Alabama
Overview of ACMA
The Alabama Crop Management Association was incorporated as a non-profit organization under Alabama law in January 1995. Forward thinking individuals from the former Alabama Agricultural Chemical Association and the Alabama Soil Fertility Society saw the need to join together to meet the ever changing and more complex issues facing agriculture in Alabama and the nation. From this need a new organization has been formed to meet the challenges.
Making Farming Better For All
Certified Crop Advisor Training
The Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) Program is established as a benchmark for agronomy professionals that provides base-level standards for agronomic knowledge through a national and regional testing process and raises those standards through continuing education. Being certified emphasizes credibility and recognizes that you are committed and experienced in what you do.
The goal of the program is to enable agriculture as an industry to meet its environmental stewardship objective. Get the recognition, opportunities, and respect you deserve.
Steps to Certification
If interested in becoming certified, we recommend you review the detailed documentation in the CCA Application and Credential Information Booklet and the 2023 Policy Manual before starting the process.
International, Local Board, and Specialty Exams are offered quarterly (four times a year). You can take the International and Local exams in one window or you can split them between different windows.
