We are currently planning a final
round of trainings for our Using Pesticides Wisely training during
February/March of 2017 and would request your input on potential
locations. Our goal continues to be
making it as easy as possible for attendance.
To date, we have conducted the
training 26 times in Georgia as noted below.
Please e-mail Culpepper at stanley@uga.edu
to give us feedback on where we have growers that we have missed and your
thoughts on potential locations by November 1, 2016. A few other thoughts about this training:
*Remember if auxin technologies do get labeled, which is
currently unknown, licensed applicators responsible for in-crop applications of
dicamba or 2,4-D, in respective technologies, will be required to take this
training.
*Our estimates suggest we have trained at least 85% of the
growers that would want to use these technologies.
*The small number of people left to train should easily fit
in county offices, so our locations will be at Agent facilities if agents are
supportive.
*Anticipating 2 or 3 final locations for South Georgia and 2
locations for North GA?
