Several private firms and individuals, as well as industry trade associations (such as the Virginia Turfgrass Council), began offering the first on-site Certified Fertilizer Applicator (CFA) training and testing programs in January 2013. These programs continue to be well received. As of April 15, I am pleased to announce another means of obtaining CFA status by way of a free online training and testing program — Fertilizer Applicator Certification Training (FACT). Upon successful completion of thetests for each of ten subject areas in the online program, participants will meet the requirements of becoming a Virginia CFA as administered through the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).
