This year’s continuing education classes will be held in the Mendocino County Department of Agriculture’s conference room at 890 N. Bush St. in Ukiah, on the corner of Low Gap Road and Bush Street. All growers who have private applicator certificates (tan cards) are welcome to attend one of the upcoming classes on pesticide laws and regulations given by the Mendocino County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. Local pest control operators and all other persons involved with pesticide use are also invited. The classes are free. Attendees will receive 2 hours of continuing education credit in pesticide laws and regulations.
Private Applicator Cards beginning with letters R-Z will expire December 31, 2017. Some permits and private applicator cards not falling into the I-Q letter range may also expire this year, so please check the expiration dates on both your permit and private applicator card.
If you hold a private applicator card that expires in 2017 and you do not have the 6 hours of continuing education required for renewal by December 31st, you will have to take the written exam. All other private applicator cardholders should be building up their hours each year to a total of six (6) hours of continuing education before the private applicator card expire
