Chemigation Training

For those of you who plan to "Chemigate" this coming year and have not been certified, or if you need to become recertified during 2010, you will need to attend a training session and pass a test to become either certified or recertified. Requirements for initial and recertification are the same. If you plan to become certified, please preregister at the extension office whose training session you plan to attend. If you preregister, you will receive a training manual and calibration workbook to review prior to the training session. On the day of the training session, please bring your Chemigation Training Manual, Calibration Workbook, No. 2 pencil, and calculator along to use during the training. If you do not preregister, you will receive a new copy the day of the training. Review of the material in your training manual will be helpful prior to the training session. Training and testing will take approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours. There is no charge for the training or the manuals. Here are the training sites that are located the closest to S. Central Nebraska area.
