Center of Kentucky Grain Meeting and Commercial Pesticide Training

Author: Patrick Hardesty

Planning Unit: Taylor County CES

Major Program: Integrated Pest Management

Plan of Work: Management and Marketing

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Taylor County ranks 35th in grain production in the state.  This past year we combined the grain meeting and commercial pesticide training with approximately 35 participants.

Due to problems with slugs and voles, educational sessions were developed to address these issues as well as other grain hot topics such as controlling glyphosate resistant weeds and importance of using pre-emergence herbicides.

Commercial applicators also participated in this discussion as well as receiving CEU hours for commercial pesticide recertification.  Commercial applicators commented on how they liked the format to get their needed hours locally.
