Description
NEW! Educational Field Day for Recertification Credit
Who qualifies to attend and receive recertification credit?
-
Private pesticide applicators whose certification expires in 2026 can attend one of the field days to fulfill their recertification requirement.

-
If certification expires in a different year, applicators should contact Tana Haugen-Brown, thbrown@umn.edu or 763-260-4423 to confirm eligibility for recertification credit.
