Fertilizer Trainings

It is getting closer to the time when Fertilizer Applicator Training Certification (FACT) will be coming to a close on September 30, 2017. After this date, it most likely will be a test option for anyone needing FACT certification, similar to pesticide license. For more information about FACT click here.

In June, 2014, Governor Kasich signed the Ohio agriculture nutrients law which will require farmers applying fertilizer to 50 acres or more to become certified. This certification is part of a broader initiative developed by a task force convened in 2012 with several Ohio agencies participating. The task force focused on developing recommendations for improving Ohio’s waterways while maintaining the integrity of the region’s agricultural industry.
