Private Pesticide Applicator Training - Last Chance!

The last chance for farmers to attend private pesticide applicator training locally will be April 15, 2013, at the Keokuk County Extension Office on the Expo grounds. One session will be offered from 9:00 a.m. –11:30 a.m. The cost of the training is $20.

 Pre-registration is not required but applicators are encouraged to contact the Extension Office to make sure the schedule has not changed. Pesticide applicators who wish to recertify by training and not by exam must attend a continuing instruction course each year. There is also the option of taking an exam to recertify.

For those needing to take pesticide applicator tests, they will be offered at the Washington County Extension office on April 12, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. All tests are available at this site and will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tests are administered by the Iowa Department of Ag and Land Stewardship.
