Farmers who apply pesticides on their own farm must be private pesticide applicators and keep records of the applications.  The training covers how to use the products safely, information about the worker protection standard, and some pest management issues common in Butler County.  

You may become a certified private applicator by attending one of three upcoming trainings offered free of charge at the Butler County Extension Office.  The trainings are on the following dates and times:
