The last chance for farmers to attend private pesticide applicator training locally will be Thursday, April 15th at the Washington County Extension Office on the fairgrounds. One session will be offered from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. The cost of the training is 20 dollars. Pre-registration is not required. 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. Washington County Extension is now a field test site for those needing to take pesticide applicator tests. Tests will be offered on the 2nd Friday of each month, April through December, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. All tests will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. Contact the Washington County Extension Office at 653-4811 for more information.
