All produce growers are encouraged to attend this course to learn more about food safety practices recommended for all farms. This course contains NEW information contained in the finalized Subpart E rule on agricultural water.

If you've already earned your PSA certificate, retaking this course is a great way to refresh your memory and learn about the new water requirements!
