CCA Program

The Missouri Certified Crop Adviser Program works in conjunction with the International CCA Program to certify that a Missouri CCA is qualified to provide advice for Missouri Cropping Systems.

The Missouri Certified Crop Adviser program acknowledges and appreciates the excellent support and cooperation it receives from Missouri Agribusiness Association (MO-AG). However, the Missouri Certified Crop Adviser Program is technically independent from MO-AG. The CCA program is administered by the International Certified Crop Adviser Program and the Missouri CCA Board of Directors.

The Missouri Certified Crop Adviser Program pays MO-AG a fee for administrative support, including the hosting of this website. However, the Missouri Certified Crop Adviser Program and Missouri Agribusiness Association are separate and independent organizations.

If you have questions regarding the CCA program, please allow the CCA administrator to forward them to the CCA Board.
