Slate or regional boards admi nister the CCA Program in coordi nation with the American Registry of Certified Professionals in Agro nomy, Crops and Soils (ARC PACS), a membership service of the American Society of Agro nomy, headquartered at Madison, Wis. The society, handles similar programs for specialists in agro nomy, crop consulting, weed sci ence and other agricultural disciplines. Maryland and three nearby states are served by the Mid- Atlantic Certified Crop Adviser (MACCA) Board, headquartered at 53 Slama Road, Edgewater, MD 21037-1423, (410) 956-5771. Mark Fuchs is the chairman. Becoming a Certified Crop Adviser in Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia requires passing both a national examina tion and a Mid-Atlantic regional exam. Certification of credentials and development of examination questions at the regional level involves inputs from agribusiness, agricultural consultants, land grant universities, and govern ment agencies. Four major subject areas are covered in the national CCA exam. They are soils and soil fer tility, soil and water management, plant growth and development, and pest management (weeds, insects, and diseases). The Mid- Atlantic regional exam emphas izes nutrient management and integrated pest management. Applicants for certification must have at least two years of crop advising experience and pro vide employer references. They also must sign a code of ethics. To remain certified requires partici pation in at least 20 hours of conti nuing education each year and a biennial audit by the MACCA board. The national and regional examinations will be offered on an annual basis. The inaugural exams were offered last August. The next exam is scheduled Feb. 2. 1996. MILK. IT DOCS A BODY GOOD.
