You should have received a letter from the Nebraska Department of Ag reminding you of your permit expiration. Or, you could have received a letter on yellow paper from the Nebraska Department of Ag indicating that your private pesticide applicators permit expired in 2020 but was extended to 2023 and that you need to attend a 2021 training.
Bring the letter you received with you! All trainings will be held at the Knight Museum and Sandhills Center at 908 Yellowstone in Alliance.
The dates are:
-Wednesday February 3, 8:30 a.m. and 1:oo p.m.
-Wednesday March 10, 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Due to COVID-19, for the in-person training, pre-registration is required for everyone for all training dates and locations. Seating space will be limited and once filled, no more registrations will be accepted, and the applicator will have to choose another date and location. Those that do not pre-register may be turned away due to lack of space.
Participants are encouraged to follow Panhandle Public Health District and UNL safety guidelines for COVID-19 at these trainings by wearing a mask / facial covering and maintain 6 feet physical distancing.
Registration begins ½ hour prior to the training. Space is limited to the first 30 RSVPs per session. For more information, call Box Butte County Extension Office at 762-5616.
