Upon receiving certification, producers must complete six hours of Continuing Education Credits (CECs) each calendar year to maintain their certified status. Each event typically provides approximately three hours of credit, unless it is an extended, all-day, or multi-day event. These credits must be submitted to the Louisiana Master Farmer Program Coordinator by December 31st annually.
After the five-year certification period ends, producers have the option to re-certify. This requires updating their farm's RMS level conservation plan through the USDA NRCS local office. Certified Master Farmers interested in re-certification should contact their local USDA NRCS field office to request an updated RMS plan.
To submit your annual CECs, please fill out this FORM to receive credit. If you are unable to attend events in person, you may watch any of the virtual field days listed below and submit the information on the form.
All Phase 1 and Phase 2 events qualify for CECs. Additionally, other approved events and functions are listed below:
