SAN ANGELO – The Texas AgriLife Extension Service office in Tom Green County will be offering its annual “Last Chance” Continuing Education Unit Course from 12:30 – 6:15 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center.
The center is north of San Angelo on U.S. Highway 87.
Five credits will be available — one general, two integrated pest management, one laws and regulations, and one drift minimization.
The course will include presentations on toxic plant identification and control, lawn and weed control, integrated pest management concepts and drift minimization.
“We call this our ‘last chance course’ because it’s the last time our office will offer Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units before the end-of-the-month deadline,” said Steve Sturtz, AgriLife Extension agent in Tom Green County. “All private applicator license-holders must earn 15 continuing education units in specific categories over the five-year period the license is valid. Older licenses renew on Feb. 29 this year due to it being a leap year, and more recently issued licenses renew on the date they were originally issued.”
Individual registration is $25.
For more information and to RSVP, call the AgriLife Extension office in Tom Green County at 325-659-6522 or 325-659-6524.
