Impact Report There is an annual requirement to provide Continuing Education Unit (CEU) training and NMDA certification to Ornamental, Turf and Agricultural pesticide license holders. The training was directed to serve 150 license holders whose licenses expire June 30th each year. This year, the license year has been extended to January 1st, and all renewals will be due by January 1st each year for all categories. Planning was accomplished by telephone with Valencia and Sandoval County Extension Agents and an Albuquerque NMDA Pesticide staff member. The agent coordinated the rental and use of the 4-H Center facility, advertising brochures, promoted via mail and e-mail. Also contacted NMSU specialists and speakers to present topics and identify AV and handout needs. Contacted NMDA to award CEU’s from the program. We collected the pre-registrations and registrations at this office utilizing the secretarial staff. The secretarial staff coordinated the collection of purchase orders and payments since this was a fee workshop. The workshop had 150 participants who qualified to re-certify their NMDA pesticide licenses. Formal evaluation revealed that 85.7% of the participants considered the information and methods of presentation to be above average. The evaluation instrument was a scale of 5 with 5 being the highest. (5 received 54.8% of the rating). Topics requested for 2008 were Gopher & Prairie Control, More specifics on which herbicides, products available & effective uses, and Greenhouse pests & management. Agencies and businesses who participated were: NMSU Specialist / Ag Science Centers, BIA, US Fish & Wildlife, Carrasco Farm, USDA Forest Service, City of Portales, City of Albuquerque Parks & Recreation, UNM Physical Plant, City of Clovis, Gallup-McKinley County School District, Albuquerque Bio Park & Botanic Gardens, Schollenbarger Wood Treating Plant, Bernalillo County Parks & Recreation, Diamond Pest Control, Department of Military Affairs and Baca’s Trees.
