The Blanco County Extension Office will sponsor a Private Applicator License training and testing program on Friday April 25th in Johnson City. The program will be held in the Exhibit Hall beginning at 8:00am. The training will conclude at 12:00 noon and resume at 1:00pm with the testing.

All farm and ranch operators who need a Private Applicators License to purchase “restricted use” pesticides are invited to attended this program.

Please call the Extension office by Thursday at 5:00pm to sign up. The cost is $30.00 to cover the materials and handbooks. These are yours to keep as a reference. Once you pass the test, the license fee is $60.00 for 5 years, payable to the Texas Department of Agriculture.
