Please call the Extension Office at least one day prior to the training so we can be sure to have enough materials and spaces for the training. Listen to the radio for weather cancellations. Please note the cost of the Training Classes is $50 per applicator. Cell phones must be turned off during the training per the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. 

Private applicators will be required to add categories to their license to perform soil (01A) or structural/non-soil fumigation (11). Private applicators who wish to apply restricted use pesticides (RUPs) by aircraft (including drones) will be required to obtain a commercial or non-commercial license and add the Aerial Pest Control category (12). Private applicators categories are added by passing the category exam at any Nebraska Department of Agriculture commercial/noncommercial applicator testing session. Exams will not be offered during private applicator training.
