Many organic, small, and beginning growers self-report trying to limit spraying on their farms. But almost all of them still apply something to their crops. Farms that use sprays to manage pests, weeds, or diseases are required to provide basic spraying safety awareness training to their staff, even farms only applying organic materials, biopesticides, or biorational products.
This 2-hour hands-on, interactive training will equip you with key best practices and knowledge to understand labels, protective measures, and some of the legal requirements that come into play anytime you spray your crops. This workshop will help prepare growers to meet important workplace safety and training obligations.
Free! Thanks to funding from the Northeast Extension Risk Management Education program, supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2024-70027-42540.
