The Texas Panhandle Scout School is open to anyone interested in learning about scouting and identifying insect pests of corn, grain sorghum and cotton, according to AgriLife Today.
The training will be hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (AgriLife) on April 23 from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. in Amarillo. The school should benefit any agricultural worker including crop consultants, farmers and their workers and AgriLife Extension employees.
A Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) worker protection safety DVD will be shown for agricultural workers needing a pesticide handling green card. Three TDA continuing education units—two integrated pest management and one general—will be offered.
Cost is $10, payable at the door. Preregistering by April 21 is required by contacting Ronda Fisher at 806-677-5600 or at rk-fisher@tamu.edu.
