OSU Extension of Stark County will host an Agricultural Fertilizer Applicator Certification 3-hour training for those without a pesticide applicator license on Friday, December 19, 2014 from 1:30-4:30pm at the USDA Service Center in Massillon. The session is FREE and will cover best management practices with a focus on fertilizer applications that have the appropriate rate, timing, placement and source.
This meeting will fulfill the three-hour requirement for applicators who need the agricultural fertilizer applicator certification and do NOT currently have a pesticide applicator license. Those applicators who have a license can attend a session in conjunction with their pesticide recertification, or attend this session to meet the requirement. Fertilizer certification is required if you apply fertilizer (other than manure) to more than 50 acres of agricultural production grown primarily for sale. If you hire a co-op or other custom applicator to make your fertilizer applications, you do not need the certification.
There is no charge for the program, but pre-registration is required because of limited space in the room. Registration deadline: December 18, 2014.
