UNL Extension is excited to announce the first annual Crop Production Clinics to be held at eight locations across Nebraska in January 2010. The clinics will provide valuable information to help crop producers and agribusiness professionals improve their profitability and safety. The Crop Production Clinics succeed the Crop Protection Clinics which had been conducted annually since 1974.

Topics

The Crop Production Clinics will feature presentations from extension specialists and educators on soil fertility, soil water and irrigation management, crop production, pesticide safety, and disease, insect and weed pest management. See program locations (menu to the left) for specific presentation titles. Program topics are tailored to meet the needs of cropping systems in different parts of the state, and vary by location.

Pesticide Applicator Recertification

The Crop Production Clinics will be the primary venue for commercial and noncommercial pesticide applicators to renew their licenses in the following categories:

• Ag Plant (01)
• Regulatory (REG)
• Demonstration/Research (D/R)

Representatives from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture will be present to verify attendance.

The Crop Production Clinics also will serve as a venue for private pesticide applicators to renew their licenses. This will be the first year that this service has been offered. Individuals wanting to renew their Private Pesticide Applicators license will be charged an additional $30 training fee to cover the costs of additional materials they will receive.

For Certified Crop Advisors (CCA)

We have applied for Certified Crop Advisor CEUs in the following categories: Integrated Pest Management (6 CEUs), Soil and Water (2 CEUs), Nutrient Management (2 CEUs), and Crop Production (1 CEU). Attendees can earn a maximum of 6 CEUs at a location. Certified Crop Advisors are required to bring their CCA number (and card where possible) to apply for CEU credits.
