Private Pesticide
Applicator Training in Marinette County
Anyone wanting to purchase
and/or apply restricted-use pesticides for agricultural production
must become certified by either attending one of the scheduled
sessions or taking a self-study exam. As rules change every year,
any producer who applies pesticides on a for-hire basis should
review their need to be private vs. custom applicator certified.
The cost is $40 for
the five-year license, reference book and educational session
materials.
Although not required, it is recommended
that any person who uses pesticides of any sort learn about proper
pesticide application and safety principles by attending one of
these sessions. Farm employees also benefit from getting certified,
even if they don't directly apply pesticides. The safety lessons
learned at this session may save your farm from a problem in the
future.
If you miss the scheduled
sessions in the Marinette area, call the UW-Extension at 715-732-7510
to find out about the self-study option.
Training Sessions begin
at 9:30 am, and last until approximately 2:30 p.m.

or mail a check for $40 to Pesticide Applicator Training, UW-Extension,
1926 Hall Avenue, Marinette 54143-1717. Indicate which date you

Please remember that
this program is for private applicators only. If you apply pesticides
for hire, you may need to attend a regional Commercial Applicators
Training Session. Call me at 715-732-7510 if you are questioning
your status as private or commercial applicator.
