  frequently asked questions
  • What is crop advising experience?

 

Crop advising experience is the act of providing information to current and prospective clients.  This can include, but is not limited to, advising farmers in soils, fertility, weed management and control, insect control, disease control, crop production, rotation planning.  Crop advising may also be presenting information at local field days, various farm meetings or directly with a producer in a one on one setting.

To be eligible for crop advising experience, the advising must be provided to a farm that you do not have a direct interest in (e.g. a family farm).

The act of blending fertilizer, loading and unloading chemical in a chemical storage shed, invoicing, and record keeping, though important day to day activities of many people interested in attaining their CCA designation, do not qualify for advising.  The act of soil sampling is not crop advising – though interpreting the test results and providing recommendations is considered to be advising.
