2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 ArcGIS for Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs): A Training Program Track: Agriculture Author(s): Quentin Rund, Harold Reetz, Scott Murrell Certified Crop Advisers help farmers make decisions about growing crops. ArcGIS is a tool that is finding its way into more CCA toolkits. We developed this hands-on workshop for CCAs on how to use ArcGIS to manage and analyze data and help make decisions on farmers' fields. The workshop is designed for a two-day session with an optional third day for more advanced users. The workshop emphasizes practical applications of the software to solve problems common to Midwest agriculture production. While the workshop is designed with Midwest agriculture examples, its modular design allows for inclusion of examples from other regions as needed. This talk will discuss the development of the workshop and demonstrate one or more of the hands-on modules and accompanying instructor notes. The workshop is part of the educational materials produced by the Foundation for Agronomic Research, made possible via contributions from supporting companies and organizations.
