The Extension program fee is $30 for these sessions. If a person cannot attend any of the above listed sessions, a self-study course may be completed at a cost of $60 in addition to the state license fee.

Anyone having received a “bar-coded” letter from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture about the need to re-certify may bring this letter to the private applicator training session. 

This letter will save time and may be substituted for the NDA “bubble” application form. The bar-coded letter is not valid after April 15 of the current year.

Contact the Perkins County Extension Office, 352-4340, with any questions about pesticide training.
