Free Web-Based Training
This online course is available free of charge to anyone registered for the CCA Pre-Test Training Program. Our goal
for this web-based training program is to provide baseline crop and pest management information that some individuals (depending on background and experience)
may find useful prior to attending the classroom training session on December 13-14. It is not intended to duplicate the
classroom training. To use this online training program "Basics of Crop Production" you must supply your email address with your registration.
Upon receipt of your registration materials, a username, password and login link will be electronically generated and sent to you
by email. Online help is available and written instruction will be inclulded with your letter of confirmation.
