 Private pesticide trainings will be held for farmers and ranchers who need to renew their certified private pesticide applicator’s license or anyone who wants to become certified.  Contact the Extension Office for the 2026 Custer County dates.  Pre-registration is required and seating is limited.  A fee of $60.00 will be collected for the course.  Checks should be made payable to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  Correct change is appreciated.  The course will last approximately 3 hours; you are required to be present for the entire training session.
