| Impact Report | Pesticide Licensing Workshops One workshop was held by the agent during the reporting year to train and license agricultural commodity producers to be able to purchase and apply restricted use pesticides. A total of 8 persons attended the workshop and gained information on the federal and state pesticide laws and regulations, labels and labeling, storage, application, personal protective equipment, pesticide formulations, and recordkeeping. Agricultural producers gained information about these subjects to enable them to be safe and knowledgeable pesticide applicators. All persons took the NMDA private pesticide applicator test and became a certified pesticide applicator. The Chaves County Extension Office served as host to a pesticide training that was broadcast via polycom from the New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs. The agent coordinated with the Extension Pesticide Training and Certification Specialist to assure that logistics of the program were completed. Three individuals attended the day-long training at the Chaves County Extension Office and obtained continuing education for their pesticide license. |
