| Impact Report | Private Applicators Training Continual education for pesticide applicators is important for local farmers and ranchers from Sierra County in order to apply pesticides correctly. Local producers need to be able to use chemicals wisely and in the proper manner to optimize their effectiveness as well as the safety of their neighbors. The agent conducted a pesticide applicators workshop in December with the assistance of the wildlife specialist, water specialist, and the private applicator specialist from NMSU. Participants in the program gained knowledge on sprayer calibration, small vertebrate control, the history of pesticides, and calculating spray area. Fifteen farmers and one rancher attended the workshop. Evaluations from the program showed that 100% were satisfied with the program and all agreed that they gained knowledge that they can apply in the future. |
