Jefferson County to host manure applicator certification

Commercial manure applicators and confinement site manure applicators who primarily handle, haul or land apply dry or solid manure are invited to attend the dry manure applicator certification workshop scheduled in Jefferson County at Jefferson County Extension Cambridge Building on Jan. 7 at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Please call 641-472-4166 by Dec. 30 to register for this workshop.

These workshops offered by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources meet manure applicator certification requirements for both confinement site and commercial manure applicators. The workshops differ from the regular manure certification workshops only because they tend to focus more on dry/solid manure issues such as stockpiling and handling.

The workshops are free to attend and open to all. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, pre-registration is required. No walk-ins are allowed. Applicators will be required to submit certification forms and fees to the Iowa DNR to meet manure applicator certification requirements.
