The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) and the Ohio CCA Board are sponsoring an Excellence in Crop Advising Award. This is to recognize an individual who has provided superior service to farming clients in nutrient management, soil and water management, integrated pest management and crop production.
The purpose of this award is to increase the awareness that both farmers and their dealers strive to do their best in making cropping decisions which are both economically and environmentally sound. Farmers can look to CCAs as a risk management tool. The certification process is meant to ensure qualified individuals are providing cropping information. This assists the farmer in managing an economically viable business, while practicing responsible stewardship principles in utilizing natural resources. Together, a farmer and a CCA, make a team that works to put good management practices in place on the farm.
If you know of someone who is deserving of this award contact the OABA office for a nomination form; bpeach@oaba.net , or (614) 326-7520.
