The Holt County Ag Update will be held Thursday, January 22 at the TJ Hall Building in Oregon and the Atchison County Ag Update will be Friday, January 23 at teh Extension office in Rock Port. Each session begins at 8 a.m. with private pesticide applicator training then is followed by updates in the various subject areas of Extension staff. The meetings conclude at noon.
Private pesticide applicator training will begin at 8 a.m. For the applicator training, a training manual is required for licensing and a fee is charged for such. If you have an old manual, please bring it so you will not be charged for a new manual. This training will end at 9:30 a.m. Growers who do not need a license can benefit by attending this session.
Updates will begin with Wayne Flanary, Extension Agronomist, presenting ways to maximize your return on investment of crop input dollars.
