Palmer, Bailey, Castro, invite you and your colleges to a Field Scout School on
Thursday, May 31, 2018. The free training will be from 8:45 A.M. to around
12:30 P.M. in Plainview at the Ollie Liner Center (2000 S. Columbia, Plainview,
TX, 79072). Three CEU’s are being offered, two IPM and one drift management.
Coffee, snacks, and drinks will be available thanks to our sponsors GOWAN,
Plains Land Bank, and the Hale County Ag Committee but lunch will not be
provided.
This training is intended as a first time introduction or a
seasonal review of the proper procedures involved in reliably field scouting
and identifying potential issues in cotton, corn, and sorghum for insect, weed,
and disease problems. This training should be ideal for all summer field
scouts working for independent crop consultants or AgriLife Units, company
interns, progressive and field precision minded ag producers, proactive county
agents, early career ag professionals, ag professionals involved with field
crop sales, or anyone interested in identifying problems in our area ag
production fields.
Following the conclusion of the scout school around 12:30
P.M., a WPS (Workers Protection Standard) Training will be provided for anyone
interested or needing their worker or handler safety training now mandated
annually by the EPA.
Please call (806) 291-5267, if you have any questions.
