In Hardin County, farmers have four methods to complete their recertification hours to renew their licenses before July 1.
Certain farming practices require farmers to complete regulatory training. This training ensures that farmers have the knowledge and the tools to properly apply herbicides and fertilizers in a safe manner that protects the public and the environment.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is responsible for many of the implementation plans for farm regulations.
The Pesticide Applicator License is part of the pesticide implementation plan, which farmers must obtain to apply restricted-use pesticides.
