A three-hour fertilizer applicator certification training program will be held by The Ohio State University Extension on Monday, August 29, from 6:30 to 9:30 PM at the Palazzo in Botkins, Ohio. Refreshments will be served at 6:00 PM. Topics that will be discussed include the current status of water quality, soil sampling, and phosphorus and nitrogen management. Anyone involved in agricultural production and applying fertilizer to greater than 50 acres must obtain this certification prior to September 30, 2017. After this date, a test could be required to obtain this certification. This program is specifically for those individuals not having a pesticide license, although those having a pesticide license may also attend. Agricultural Professionals please help in reminding your clientele about this fertilizer applicator certification and training program. Thanks to TruPointe for sponsoring location and refreshments. Pre-register for the meeting prior to August 26, 2016 by calling the Auglaize County Extension office at 419-739-6580.
