Title: “Ag Update Meetings"
Good afternoon and welcome
to University of Missouri Extension Connection, your connection to
Missouri's land grant based research institutions.
MU Extension is the outreach program of the University of Missouri
and Lincoln University. This is
Tim Baker, Horticulture Specialist, with today’s program.
Back
in the first part of December, I recorded a program which mentioned several
upcoming winter meetings. One of
these meetings was our annual Ag Update, which we hold in almost every
county in the Northwest Extension Region. At the time, I didn’t have a
schedule, but that has now been determined. This week, I thought I would
mention the meetings again, so you can attend one if desired.
Ag Updates bring several Extension
Specialists to each county, to update farmers on selected topics within the
Specialist’s discipline. For
example, our Agronomy Specialist will give a presentation on issues of
interest to agronomic growers, such as insects and diseases of field crops
and pastures. While not every discipline makes it to every county, you may
also hear from Livestock Specialists, Agriculture Business Specialists, a
Horticulture Specialist, or even an Ag Engineering Specialist.
But
for many farmers, the meeting has gained the reputation as a great way to
obtain or renew their private applicator’s license.
If you intend to purchase and apply restricted use agricultural
chemicals to your land, you will need this license.
Here
is the current schedule for the Ag Updates on the eastern side of our
Northwest Extension Region:
Feb 9
– 9 am – Bethany Community Center
Feb
10 – 9 am – Daviess County Library in Gallatin
Feb
15 – 10 am - Hundley-Whaley Research Center in Albany

If
you want to obtain or renew your private pesticide applicator’s license, you
must own a copy of the book, “Private Pesticide Applicator Reference
Manual.” The book costs $12, and
is available from University of Missouri Extension.
The book will be available for sale at the Ag Update meetings.
If you already own a copy, you must bring it to the meeting and show
it when renewing your license.
Our Agronomist cannot sign your application without seeing your book in
hand.
The
book must also be available on your farm in case an inspector from the
Missouri Department of Agriculture visits your farm.
Be
sure to call the local MU Extension Center in the county that you choose to
visit, for additional information.
Some locations are serving lunch and require a RSVP.
University of Missouri Extension programs are open to all
