Anyone needing to be certified or re-certified to apply commercial manure for the new year can do so in Jefferson later this week.

The Greene County Extension office is offering the training class on Wednesday from 9am to noon. The workshop will provide three hours of required training, and it will cover rules for applicators, water sources, manure application uniformity, transporting equipment, injector options, biosecurity, and manure and hydrogen sulfide safety. 

All commercial manure applicator licenses from 2019 will expire this March. Greene County Extension is partnering with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to host the training workshop. It is free to attend, but pre-registration is required. Contact the Extension office at 515-386-2138.
