A University of Illinois Extension ag educator is highlighting some upcoming pesticide applicator trainings for producers this winter.

Reagan Tibbs is an Extension Commercial Ag Educator in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties and indicates these trainings are going to be available at various points across the State through March, and for some, are a must to keep those licenses up to date.

Tibbs indicates it is important for producers to keep up with these trainings because laws around pesticide applications can change or regulations from the federal level can change.
