Kansas State University Research and Extension, NW Region Extension counties and districts are hosting two Crop Pest Management Schools, Dec. 5, in Colby at the City Limits Convention Center and Dec. 6, in Russell at the Elks Lodge starting at 7:45 a.m. with registration and concluding at 5 p.m.

Join us in-person to learn about how to control the latest pests—weeds, insects, and diseases—affecting all crops in central and western Kansas.

Commercial applicators will earn 1 Core Hour and 7 Hours for 1A, certified by Kansas Department of Agriculture. Certified Crop Advisors will also earn 8 Pest Management Credits. These schools would also be an excellent educational opportunity for producers.

The cost to participate is $50 if registered by Nov. 27, after that date the fee is $75. Those wishing to participate are asked to register by midnight Nov. 27.
