Producer Workshops

Land Application Training

Events have been scheduled for livestock and poultry producers needing initial and recertification land application training on January 26, 2010 and February 24, 2010. The all day training (from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm) is for producers that are recently permitted and/or have not completed the inital Land Application Training previously. An additional educational training is required every five years for permitted operations. For those that need additional training, the afternoon portion of the program (from 1:30 to 3:30 pm) has been developed as a recertifcation event. If you are unsure of your certification status, contact Leslie Johnson.
