Private Pesticide Applicator Workshops Scheduled

Farmers with Private Pesticide Applicator (PPA) Permits that expire on March 1, 2017 should have received a postcard from the MN Department of Agriculture. Farmers can renew permits again this year by attending a “Renewal Workshop” conducted by U of M Extension staff.
Bring an official picture ID like a driver’s license; and your current Permit Card if you have it. Bring a check to pay the $75 permit fee. You must arrive on time and stay for the whole workshop. Attend any workshop that is convenient for you.
The Farm Information Line at 1-800-232-9077 has this information also. The Farm Information Line is answered from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm M-F and will record a message for weather related changes after hours when possible.
Always use your best judgment with the weather. Listen to local radio stations or call the coordinating U of M Extension Office before getting on the road.
