Crook County will be offering an additional private pesticide applicator class in April.

This class is an opportunity for individuals to renew or obtain a private pesticide applicator license.

The class includes weed and pest district updates, worker protection standards, pest management, pesticide labels, pesticides in the environment, sprayer calibration, the license form and more.

The class will take place April 19, 12:30-4:30 p.m. in the courthouse basement in Sundance.For more information or questions, or to receive a take-home workbook, contact the Crook County Extension office at 307-283-1192.
