MENARD – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has scheduled a private-pesticide applicators training in Menard for those seeking a Texas Department of Agriculture license.
The training will be from 1:30-5 p.m. May 5 in the Menard County Courthouse, located at 206 E. San Saba Ave. The license allows individuals to purchase and apply restricted-use pesticides, said Lisa Brown, AgriLife Extension agent in Menard County.
“This training will be for those who do not have a current license; it is not a continuing education training,” she said. “The training is meant to prepare individuals for the required test that must be passed in order to obtain the license. The test is no longer held in conjunction with the training, but test dates and locations will be provided. The private applicators training must be completed prior to taking the test.”
Individual registration is $50 due upon arrival. The fee includes manuals and the training.
So training materials can be ordered, preregistration by April 29 is required by calling the AgriLife Extension office in Menard County at 325-396-4787.
