Pesticide License Credits
Production meeting season is in full swing. Its during these meetings where you can receive credits (commercial, and private) towards your license at the Cook Extension Office. Certified Crop Advisor credits are offered as well. Most growers will need private credits – 3 hrs credit/5 years is required. It’s easier to come to these meetings to eat, socialize, get good info on safe handling of pesticides, and latest updates on commodity production than to navigate getting new license on-line.
