Planning Unit: Trigg County CES
Major Program: Chemical Management
Plan of Work: Crop Production
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Each year the Cooperative Extension Service in McLean County trains several producers and homeowners alike it Pesticide Safety. These trainings allow the producers in this county the ability to purchase and use restricted pesticides on crops for the control of certain diseases, weeds and insects. This agent takes the opportunity to discuss safety precautions around Bee's as well as water resources that may be used for human and or livestock consumption during the training class. Many producers were unaware of the need for such precautions and took the information supplied back to their home and/or farm. It is the hope of this agent that the natural resources that we enjoy will continue to be protected after the presentation of this information to the attendee's.
