Chemigation certification training set for Sidney

Nebraska Extension will conduct a chemigation certification training session in Sidney on March 11 at 1 p.m. at the Country Inn & Suites.

Producers who plan to apply crop nutrients and pesticides through irrigation systems during 2015, including those whose 2014 permits expired Dec. 31, are required to attend a training session and pass the test administered afterward. Attendees are asked to pre-register at the extension office at 920 Jackson St. They will receive a training manual and calibration workbook to review before the training session.

On the day of the session, they are asked to bring the manual, calibration workbook, No. 2 pencil and a calculator. There is no charge. Training and testing will take approximately 2 to 3 hours.
