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.
