If you did not make one of the training sessions last year for the Category 14 Ag Fertilizer Training, an online module has been developed by the Indiana Corn Marketing Council, the Indiana Soybean Alliance, Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Pork and the Purdue Extension Service. You may find the tutorial at the link below.

Keep in mind that this module is for training only. In order to be certified you will need to attend one of the State Chemist Exam Sessions. You can find information on the exams on the State Chemist's website here.
