This program run through our county extension offices trains and certifies our farmers as private pesticide applicators. This enables producers to go to their local county extension office for a three hour training after which they receive their private applicator's card to purchase and use restricted use pesticides. Having this training done locally allows producers to save time and money traveling out of county to meetings and enables them to receive their cards the same day. Currently we have more than 11,000 private applicators that must receive training every 3 years.
