Clemson extension to conduct private pesticide-applicator training

CHEROKEE — The Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service will conduct a private pesticide applicator training from 8:30 a.m. to noon May 12 at the Cherokee County Extension office at 1100 W. Floyd Baker Blvd., Gaffney. The training is open to anyone who wants to obtain a private pesticide-applicator's license. The cost is $50.

A private-applicator license in South Carolina is required for those who want to buy restricted-use pesticides for the use in the production of agricultural commodity products from farms, nurseries, greenhouses and forests on land that they or their employers own, rent or lease.  

To register, call the Clemson Extension office in Gaffney at 864-489-3141.
