In an effort to meet your needs, build awareness and increase value, the ICCA program has developed a comprehensive marketing plan to reach the groups you deem most important. This will be a multi-step process to help farmers and employers realize what you already do; Certified Crop Advisers (CCA) set the standard for being classified as elite agronomy professionals.
As a part of our campaign to raise awareness for the CCA program, we have created a series of short promotional videos to be utilized by local CCA boards, agricultural retailers, and CCAs. The videos consist of remarkable testimonials given by growers from all over North America. The project highlights why growers seek-out and rely on CCAs as partners in business success.
Prominent agricultural journalist, Ken Root, gives his endorsement of this prestigious program designed to validate the quality of agronomy professionals. The growth of the CCA program has coincided with the advancement of agriculture. CCAs want to know more!
A recently graduate of Kansas State University, Michael Strueder, is interviewed about his experience with taking the CCA exams prior to graduation. He became a CCA-Candidate and instantly enhanced his marketability to agricultural employers. The CCA program is essential to the advancement of agriculture!
Paul Wenger, the California Farm Bureau President and grower, gives his testimonial on how critically important he feels the CCA program is in showing that the “ag” industry is being proactive in managing the prominent issues faced by today’s grower. Commitment, Experience, Education, and Expertise!
An Illinois grower, Jeff Hass, gives you his perspective on why a successful farming operation includes the expertise of a CCA. You can count on a certified professional to help you make the best crop-production decisions possible!

A South Carolina grower, Daniel Gause, tells you why his land-use planning relies on a CCA as a partner in a top-yielding farming operation. CCAs are looking out for your best interest and have proven that commitment by signing and adhering to a Code of Ethics!
A new marketing campaign has been developed to promote the CCA program to clients/farmers, employers, prospective CCAs, students, and the public. We hope that CCAs will utilize the marketing materials and tools provided to better promote themselves and the program as a whole.
