CEU programs offered in May

By Sam Waller

Shackelford County extension agent Kelsey Bell has two continuing education programs scheduled over the next two weeks.

On Wednesday, May 11, a private applicator pesticide license training course will be offered. The program will start at 8:30 a.m. at Shackelford County Courthouse.

On Tuesday, May 17, a brush control field day will be held at the Stasney Ranch.

“We’ll be looking at the  different methods of brush control they’ve used on the Stasney – prescribed fire, mechanical control and chemical control,” Bell said, “Lance Thomas, Mark Moon, and Justin Odom of the Natural Resource Conservation Service will all be speaking. Justin will also cover the EQUIP program which provides funding from the USDA.”

Lunch will be provided.

Bell requests that those planning to attend RSVP by Tuesday, May 10. Registration fee is $20 if attendees RSVP by then and $30 the day of the program.

“There will be three Continuing Educations Units offered,” Bell said. “Anyone who has a private pesticide license must get CEUs on a regular basis to maintain that license.”
