Success StoryPesticide Training



Pesticide Training

Author: Taylor Graves

Planning Unit: Washington County CES

Major Program: Chemical Management

Plan of Work: Increasing Agricultural Systems In Washington County

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Each year the Washington County extension office will host at least one pesticide training. This allow producers to receive their personal applicators license so that they can purchase and spray chemicals on their farm. We were fortunate enough to have this meeting in person this year. We had a decent turnout of eight clients, two of which had not received their applicators license before.  

Topics for the meeting included: Weed control in pastures, proper storage, handling of pesticides, and managing resistant weeds. 

After the program I had several producers ask for a weed ID sheet so they could better identify the weeds on their property and treat them more accurately.
