Come to field days, get pesticide points and recycle old pesticide containers

The USDA's Northern Plains Agricultural Research Lab (NPARL) in Sidney will be hosting two field days on Thursday, June 28 and Friday, June 29.  On the 28th, the field day will be held in Froid at the Froid Research Farm located just 8 miles north of Culbertson on Highway 16.  The field day on the 29th will be held at the Rasmussen dryland research station just 4 miles north of Sidney off of Highway 16 at the corner of county road 129 and county road 346. 

There is too much going on at the events to post all the topics but there are two things that I want to point out.  First off, private and commercial applicators who have a Montana pesticide applicators license will get two points for attending either field day.  Secondly, if you have old empty plastic pesticide containers please bring them with you as Ron Ahlgren with the Montana Department of Agriculture's pesticide container recycling program will be on hand to talk about the program and to recycle properly prepared containers.  For more information about the recycling program, click here!
