OTHER INFORMATION:

MANURE MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION
The California CCA Board is offering an exam leading to a Specialty Certification in Manure Management.  This is a voluntary certification available only to California CCAs in good standing.  It is offered as a tool to build clientele in the dairy industry and to demonstrate additional CCA competency in a regulated category of nutrient management.

The exam will be offered on the same day and location as other CCA exams on February 4, 2011.

The requirements and information for the certification are as follows:
1) Pass an exam with a score determined by the CA CCA Board.  (You must hold a valid CCA certification in order to take the Manure Management Certification exam.  You cannot take the CCA exams at the same time as the Manure Management Certification exam.)
2) Earn 5 CEUs every 2 years in Manure Management.  This does not increase the current requirements of 40 CEUs every 2 years.  The requirement of 5 CEUs every two years in Nutrient Management, Soil & Water, IPM, and Crop Management remain unchanged.
3) Fees for the exam are $95.00.
4) Fees for annual renewal are $65.00.  This is in addition to the current renewal fees.
