Success StoryCommercial Pesticide CEU Program



Commercial Pesticide CEU Program

Author: April Wilhoit

Planning Unit: Fleming County CES

Major Program: Pesticide Safety – Plant Pests

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

November 2018 our office was contacted by a local farm supply store about needing continuing education units (CEUs) for retaining their commercial pesticide license.  The group usually attended a neighboring county's class but had found out that they were not offering it in 2018.  After discussing the need with a co-worker we decided to quickly put together a class to help satisfy this need.  Within two days from the original call we had a schedule and speakers planned as well as confirmation from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture on the amount of CEUs each participant could receive after reviewing our agenda.  Forty-four individuals from within Fleming County as well as from across central Kentucky attended the program in December.  Attendees satisfied three general hours and one specific hour toward their commercial pesticide CEUs.  Several attendees requested for us to host the program again in 2019.
