With this change an individual can apply for a "Supervisory Registration Certificate for GeneralUse" for Right of Way (B) and Turf Pest Control (G2). To be eligible for this new Supervisory Registration Certificate a person needs to have completed 8 hours of category-specific training for each category and an additional 8 hours of general use instruction.

This
training is the first step in the process to obtaining the Supervisory Registration Certificate - General Use.

Growing Small Grains For Forage & Food
(09:05 AM - 02:15 PM)

The demand for local food and forage has spilled over into the grain market. Many consumers are demanding local wheat, oats, corn, and other grains from farmers and bakers. This new demand is creating a niche opportunity for many farmers, and could for many more. Growing grain for this market requires grain to meet certain quality parameters.

Before getting involved with grain production, there are many factors that should be considered - such as site selection, equipment, harvesting, and storing grains. Also, you will want to select the grains that are right for your market.

This workshop will consider the factors and options that should be taken into account in growing small grains.
