The Greene County Extension Office is hosting a commercial manure applicator training session early next month.

Commercial manure applicators who have not yet completed their 2012 manure applicator certification training can attend the three hour class to meet the requirements. As a reminder, existing or previously certified employees must been the certification requirements prior to hauling or land applying manure.  New employees can work for the first 30 days without completing the training but must be actively seeking certification status.

The free class will take place Wednesday September 5th from 9am to noon at the Greene County Extension Office in Jefferson.  Registration can be completed by calling the extension office at 396-2138 and must be done by Friday.

Applicators who are unable to attend this meeting will need to schedule a time at their local ISU Extension office to watch the training DVD.  Otherwise applicators can contact their local DNR field office to schedule a time to take the certification exam.
