News release from Regional Agronomist Wayne Flanary

Private pesticide applicator training will focus on the use of dicamba resistant soybean technology. The new dicamba formulations are restricted use and so require a private applicator license. A training manual is required for licensing. If you have an old manual, please bring it to the meeting. All meetings will begin at 8:30 a.m.
The Holt County Ag Update will be held Thursday, January 25, at the T.J. Hall Building in Oregon; Atchison County Ag Update, Tuesday, January 30, at the Atchison County Extension office in Rock Port; and Nodaway County Ag Update, Wednesday, January 31, at Nodaway County Administration Center in Maryville
Following applicator training, the University of Missouri Agricultural Extension staff will present “Tips to Reduce Input Costs without Reducing Yield,” “Dicamba Injury and Insurance” and “Minerals and Vitamins for beef cattle: meeting requirements without breaking the bank.”
