PRIMGHAR, Iowa — The private pesticide applicator trainings originally scheduled for Dec. 8 in Paullina and Dec. 9 in Rock Rapids have been postponed in response to the governor’s latest COVID-19 guidance. The training at the Paullina Legion has been rescheduled to Jan. 14 at 9:30 a.m., and the Rock Rapids training will be held at 9:30 a.m. on March 4 at the Forster Community Center.
Field Agronomist Joel DeJong said that at this time the remaining northwest Iowa private pesticide applicator training schedule will remain as-is; however, COVID-19 mandates and guidelines may cause more programs to be postponed.
“This year we are requiring that producers preregister for private pesticide training,” DeJong said. “We are doing this for many reasons – to ensure we have proper space for social distancing being one of the big ones, but also to make sure we can contact you if a meeting schedule changes. We are prioritizing the health and safety of all and appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation.”
