Fertilizer re-certification (Category 15) will be offered from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. and pesticide recertification (CORE and Categories 1-7) will be offered from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required by calling 419-399-8225.
OSU Extension Henry County will also be hosting a re-certification meeting on Thursday, April 8 at the Northwest State Community College (22600 SR 34, Archbold) in Room E1101B (enter door A10 for check-in).
