All registration questions with YQCA should be directed to help@yqca.org. The YQCA site is user friendly and should make it easy for 4-H families to complete their Quality Assurance training for this year.

Nebraska Extension and Fremont Health are excited to partner and introduce a community-wide health program:

Reduction: Weight and Chronic Disease Risk

This program will focus on proper nutrition, health behaviors, and physical activity habits to reduce weight and minimize the effects of chronic disease.  Reduction goes beyond education and creates a system of support for lifestyle changes that provide protective factors against the development of chronic diseases. 

Key components of the program include:

"Pressure Cooking 101" featuring the Istant Pot! Tricks, tips and taste testing!  Learn how a pressure cooker can make healthy eating simple and quick! Limited seating. Register at the Dodge County Extension Office.

Class Fee $15.00  -  Phone - 402-727-2775

Training dates are set for Nebraska's commercial and noncommercial pesticide applicators seeking first-time certification or recertification of their license to use or purchase restricted use pesticides in 2018. The statewide training is coordinated through the Nebraska Extension Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP).

The 2018 growing season is just around the corner and I'm sure you are already in the process of making preparations.  As you check impartant "to do" items off your list remember to look at your Nebraska Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator card to see if 2018 is your year to recertify.  

Remember, a private pesticide applicator is one who uses or supervises the use of restricted use pesticides in the production of agricultural commodities on land owned or rented by his/her or his/her employer, farmers, ranchers and orchardists.  Dicamba products (e.g. Xtendimax, Fexepan, Engenia) used in soybeans are now restricted use pesticides.
