Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig says that the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship is again offering in-person and online pesticide applicator testing options for commercial and private applicators this fall.
The department encourages commercial and private pesticide applicators to test and apply for 2025 licensing and certification beginning October 1st to avoid delays.
The department partners with ISU Extension and Outreach to host free in-person private and commercial applicator testing sessions monthly from September through May.
The department’s in-person testing sites are located in several counties including Cerro Gordo.
