Missouri ag producers who need to obtain or renew a private pesticide applicator license to purchase restricted-use pesticides can attend an on-line Zoom class or complete a worksheet based on the training manual. The manual is optional to purchase for the Zoom classes. The Zoom classes are offered state-wide and there are a number of dates and times available through the spring. Producers can register for the Zoom classes at https://extension.missouri.edu/programs/pesticide-applicator-training. Pat Miller, University of Missouri Extension agronomist, will be teaching the February 18 Zoom class but producers can attend any of the classes taught by MU specialists across the state. Producers choosing the worksheet option will need to use the manual, which is still the 2007 M87. Manuals can be purchased or ordered through your local Extension Center. Manual costs have gone up considerably so if you are recertifying and already have a manual, you can avoid purchasing one. For the worksheet option, contact MU Extension agronomy specialist, Pat Miller, or your local Extension Center. Depending on COVID-19 prevalence and meeting location restrictions, Miller may offer limited in-person classes in the Bates, Cass, Cedar, St. Clair and Vernon Counties’ area in late spring. There is no longer an option to view a video at the Extension Center to complete the training. This class also completes the EPA worker protection training program for ag employees who handle pesticides. Miller reminds producers that if their license expired in 2020 or earlier, they will need to use the form for a new license instead of the one for recertification. For questions or for more information, contact Pat Mille at 417-448-2560.
