Outcome: Initial Outcome
Livingston County ANR joined forces with Graves, Calloway, Marshall, and McCracken Counties to provide essential Continuing Educational Unit (CEU) hours for licensed pesticide applicators across the W1/W2 region. After COVID many traditional training opportunities are still disrupted or non-existing now, there arose a pressing need for commercial applicators to acquire CEUs before the deadline at the end of November. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, these counties orchestrated a collective effort to organize a last-chance CEU training session on November 14th.
This initiative proved to be a success, as it enabled 11 licensed operators to fulfill their educational requirements and remain in compliance with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA). By pooling resources and expertise, Livingston County ANR and its partner counties demonstrated a commitment to supporting their local agricultural community during challenging times. The seamless coordination and dedication exhibited by these counties not only met the immediate educational needs of pesticide applicators but also showcased the power of regional collaboration in overcoming obstacles and ensuring regulatory compliance.
