(KLZA) -- Private Pesticide Applicator Training Sessions have been scheduled in Cass, Johnson, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee and Richardson Counties for 2014 to provide an opportunity for farmers to renew their license or for initial certification.
The Falls City location has a location change due to Konstantinos Pizza moving. The Monday, February 3 at 1:30 p-m and Friday, February 7 at 9 a-m sessions will now be at the Grand Weaver Hotel at 1800 Stone Street small conference room.
