Farm/Ranch Certified Special designation does not expire, but the currency is three years from the date completed. To maintain or return to currency - you merely have to do something with the ACA - attend an event, live or virtual, take a module, contribute in a manner that adds to the ACAs body of knowledge (e.g., add an article, call us and propose we work together to improve the ACA or the vast amount of information housed on the website.
