Q+A:

Why should a Grower use a CCA?

“A grower should use a CCA because it provides confidence that the person making recommendations for their operation has the industry credentials, foundational agronomic knowledge, and commitment to continuing education needed to make sound decisions. That helps build trust in the recommendations being made. With input costs, crop value, and production risk as high as they are today, there is simply too much at stake to rely on advice that is not backed by a recognized professional standard.”
