| Impact Report | The Agent set up a CEU workshop for NMDA Licensed Public Pesticide Applicators in Albuquerque. The NMSU Extension Weed Specialist came up from Las Cruces to do part of the workshop. Thirty-two applicators attended and received the 4 hours of CEU credit needed to keep their licenses current. The Agent presented the following topics, in PowerPoint format: Weed Management 101, Plant Diseases in Outdoor Trees and Shrubs, and Pesticide Safety. The Specialist did both lecture and hands-on presentations on equipment calibration. The hands-on section was particularly well received by the attendees. Of the thirty-two who attended, fifteen filled out evaluation forms. To summarize the evaluations: 100% of respondents learned new information, and 100% thought they would use the new information in the future; 7% felt the new information would be “somewhat” directly useful to them , 20% felt the new information would be “quite a bit” directly useful to them, and 73% felt it would be “very much” directly useful to them. 100% would recommend the training to others. Some of the written comments were: “This was the best CEU course I’ve attended”; “Never knew our equipment needed that kind of calibration”; “I thought the calculation aspect was very good. Learning about failures in spraying helps in teaching how to calibrate”. |
