SUMMARY:Pesticide Applicator Training Program
DESCRIPTION:The UW Pesticide Applicator Training Program has created multiple formats for private applicator trainings to address increased training demand. \nA private applicator is someone that applies restricted use pesticides to produce an agricultural commodity on their own property or the property owned or rented by an employer. Examples of agricultural commodities are grain and forage crops\, fruit crops or horticulture products. A restricted use pesticide can be identified by checking the label of the product you wish to use. \nA Private Applicator Certification is valid for 5 years. There are three steps toward certification: purchasing the training manual\, training and taking the test. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Establishing and Managing Prairie Strips
DESCRIPTION:Prairie strips are taking root as a new agricultural conservation practice across the Midwest. These strips of native perennial vegetation\, generally 30 feet or more in width\, are placed along the contour within a farm field or at the field edge to retain rainfall and capture soil and nutrient runoff. \nFor farmers and crop advisors reviewing yield data this winter\, a seeding of native perennial grasses and forbs can provide stable cover for underperforming crop acres along field borders or trouble spots. Portions of fields can now be enrolled in the new Prairie Strips CP-43 practice under the Conservation Reserve Program. \nDuring this three-part webinar series\, experienced advisors will discuss strategies for layout\, site preparation\, seeding\, and management of prairie strips to maintain efficient field operations and maximize farm profitability. \nInfo here.
