Extension offers Ag Chemical Dealer Update meetings

By Brent Pringnitz, extension program specialist

14 Oct 2009 -


Updates on the latest crop production products and recommendations are the featured topics of the 2009 Ag Chemical Dealer Update Series. Sponsored by Iowa State University Extension, this series will be held Nov 24 to Dec 16 at eight locations around Iowa. 


These meetings are an excellent opportunity for ag input dealers to meet with Extension specialists to review current research, discuss new products, and learn of new recommendations. 


Each location will feature presentations on weed, insect and crop disease management as well as soil nutrient management. Each meeting is approved for Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) credits. In addition, the meetings offer recertification for Iowa Commercial Pesticide Applicators in categories 1A, 1B, 1C and 10. Recertification is included in meeting registration.


Registration for the meetings is $60 until one week prior, and $75 after that. Registrations are accepted the day of the program.
