got my spray applicator's certification renewed yesterday now I can spray dicamba...anybody else do there
own spraying??
 
Did you do the dicamba training and private pesticide both. I went to dicamba training a couple weeks ago, my private pesticide is up so need to get up to community college to take the test. I do that every 3 years instead of every year training. At least thats how we do it in iowa. I spray with a Rogator 854 older but nice unit 800 gallon and 90 ft boom.

I'm a certified applicator,but I don't use dicamba so I'm not going to take any of the special training for it.
 
I have had my privates license for 20 years now and all I have to do is take 3 classes every 4 years. The one I went to this year also had dicamba training mixed in so I am good if I ever decide to use it. Do a lot of my own spraying if I have time using an apache 560.
 
I'm certified for dicamba but after the training I'm not sure if I'm using the stuff. I had planned to use it in the burndown to eliminate the wait to plant beans that comes with 2-4D but the way the rules are here in Iowa it will be nearly impossible to do a legal application of dicamba. My closest neighbors will be planting extend beans but I'm still not taking the chance. It's still good to take the class just to get educated.
 
Different rules here in Ontario.....farmers buying their own herbicides and spraying their own crops must pass a pesticide application course which allows them to apply a wide variety of herbicides but no fungicides or any of the more toxic products outside of the schedule of most crop herbicides. Those applying products to other farmers crops must have a commercial applicators licence. It is evolving into that with neonicinoids and products used to control grubs and other insects as well.

I don?t think any of my neighbors or myself realized the 120? down wind buffer was to protect endangered species. I agree that after the class I?m even less interested in spraying fexapan. This will be my 3rd season with liberty beans.
 
I just sent in my renewal with $25 and 10 "points" I've collected by going to "approved" gatherings every year. Have to renew every 5 years. Seems like someone younger ought to be doing this next time!
 
$25 and 10 credits? Must be nice. Here it's $50 and 16 credits. If you don't get 16 credits,then it's take the test again.
 
I am planting dicamba beans. Here in Iowa to obtain and keep a private pesticide applicator permit we have to first pass a test, then attend a two hour continuing education course with no test every year. If we miss a year we have to take the test. Every third year we recertify by sending in the form we receive after the annual training. It’s $15 for the training course and $20 for the recertification. We need a private pesticide number in order to be dicamba certified.
 
Yes, I do all my own spraying. Mn. Private pesticide license. Renew it every 3 yrs. by taking 4 hr. class and $30.00 or maybe $50 can't remember right now. I have planted Liberty beans since day one. Would that be about 10 years now? No intention of going with dicamba.
 
Think it was $75 last year.

I'm not doing dicamba beans. I do spray my own stuff.

Have not had mine for several years but no use for it now. Last when I went to renew it I went thru everything and paid my money. State lost everything and I never got it and they kept my money.
 
We have several restricted-use products we can use in the vineyard, but I cycle through different products and modes of operation as often as I can, so I don't use RUPs every year. The meeting schedule rarely fits my off-farm job schedule, so I take the test. After thirty years I really haven't had to study for it, just go and wing it.

Our township, as well as several around us has restrictions on use of 2,4-D due to the extreme sensitivity of the grape plants. I have not yet had any specific dicamba training to know if we can even use it here.
