MGCSA Aquatics Survey - 2011

Aquatics Pesticide Application Certifcation

• During the 2011 Northern Green Expo the Aquatic Pesticide Application Recertification (category F) was inadvertently omitted.  We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused for members that were looking to recertify there.  The Aquatics Recertification will be included in the 2012 Northern Green Expo and going forward.  For those looking to recertify in 2011, there are two options: March 30^th in St.Cloud or at a time yet to be determined in October or November but in the twin cities area (most likely Farmington).  The web site with additional information on this is: http://www.extension.umn.edu/pesticides/2011/2011recert.html
   
• We are also conducting a brief survey to determine the interest in an Aquatic Pesticide Applicators Certification Workshop.  This would give MGCSA members the opportunity to attend a preparation workshop then take the certification test at the end of the day. Please complete the survey found below.

If you have additional questions about the Aquatics Pesticide Application Recertification or potential Certification Seminar please contact Eric Counselman at ecounselman@somerby.com or at 507-775-3743
