2024 Chemigation Certification Trainings
In the Twin Platte Natural Resources District Area:
State regulations require at least one certified chemigation applicator, along with their certification number and expiration date, to be listed on each chemigation permit approved annually by the Natural Resources District.
If you plan to chemigate during 2024, you will need to attend a training session and pass a test, or do the training and testing online, to become re-certified.
If you plan to become certified and wish to attend an in-person training, please pre-register at the Extension Office whose training session you plan to attend. On the day of the training session, please bring your Chemigation Training Manual, Calibration Workbook, No. 2 pencil, and calculator along to use during the training and test. Training and testing will take approximately 2-3 hours.
