The Minnesota Crop Production Retailers (MCPR) and the Minnesota Certified Crop Adviser Board are pleased to introduce the Minnesota Certified Crop Adviser Award (CCA Award). This award recognizes an individual who has performed superior service for their farmer customers in nutrient management, soil and water management, integrated pest management, and crop production. The CCA Award is designed to recognize a crop adviser who is highly innovative, delivers exceptional customer service, and is a leader in their field. To be considered, CCAs must be certified in Minnesota.

The purpose of this award is to increase the awareness that farmers and their service people strive to do their best in making economically and environmentally sound cropping decisions. Any adviser/consultant that spends the majority of their time advising growers or farm managers/operators on agronomic practices and can meet the standards of the program can be nominated by completing the form below.

Nominations must be submitted via this form by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, 2025.
