This training was developed to provide FMNP Farmers, contracted with IDHS for a current 3-year contracting season an additional option to the annual IDHS web conference FMNP Training (live training) to meet the initial new FMNP Farmer training requirement for farmers unable to attend the live training or unable to complete the training in person with the WIC FMNP provider agency prior to accepting benefits. This training can also serve as annual training for returning FMNP Farmers contracted with IDHS for years 2 and 3 of subsequent FMNP seasons in the 3-year contracting period.
Note: After reviewing the training in its entirety, FMNP Farmers are required to complete a short quiz in order to meet the new/annual training requirement for this method. If you do not complete the training quiz at the end of the training, your training will be considered incomplete and you will not be able to accept program benefits for the current season(s).
