Two important pesticide applicator trainings are coming up for Greene County.

Extension Director Lori Mannel says their private pesticide recertification course will be offered on Tuesday, March 7th at 1:30pm in Clover Hall on the fairgrounds in Jefferson.

“This is a very popular program that we’re able to offer here in Greene County. No need to pre-register, just show up. As you know the rule, show up between 1 and 1:15pm. At 1:30, we are mandated to close the doors and no one is able to be admitted.”

The cost is $20 per person.

One final commercial pesticide class is for certified handlers on Wednesday, March 8th at 9am at the Extension office. Cost is $35 per person. All other commercial pesticide classes are done, but if you still need to take a course, the Extension office is scheduling re-shows at $45 per person.
