• What other points should the applicant use for completing the form?

Spelling and neatness counts!  Proper spelling and grammar help to get your message across to the Standards and Ethics committee.  The committee has a number of applications to process every year, and your attention to this is appreciated.

Be thorough.  You may know that your “field walks” should count as crop advising experience, but the committee does not.  Include some detail when describing “field walks”.  For example,

An acceptable detailed account of work history:

• field walks for 50+ customers, including pre-seed, in-crop and post-harvest pest scouting of area crops.

• provide solutions to producers for pest management.

• soil test and provide fertility recommendations for our customer base.

• plan and lead annual field tours of local issues and agronomy topics for local producers.

An unacceptable detailed account of work history:

• advise farmers on crop production.

It is easier to describe in detail your experience, than to make the committee guess.
