Educational Videos

There are now approved videos, webinars and articles that farmers can use to meet the MAEAP education requirement.

Any farmer interested in MAEAP verification can use this new alternative method to learn about environmental topics that may help farmers improve the environmental performance of his/her farming systems. MAEAP recognizes that some farmers may be unable to view the videos or webinars on their home computer due to slow Internet connections. In those cases, we encourage farmers to check with the local library for public computers with higher speed connections.
