Nebraska Extension is fully committed to the health and well-being of Nebraskans. In a disease situation like COVID-19, the principle of social distancing is one of the main methods that can be used to help reduce the spread of the disease. Chancellor Ronnie Green has issued guidance that all UNL classes will move to ‘remote’ modes. To be consistent with that guidance, Nebraska Extension will, whenever possible, provide Extension programs remotely (video or teleconferencing) but will not provide in-person Extension programs, at least until May 9. We recognize that this practice may create some level of disruption relative to the important information we provide to Nebraskans. However, online training options are currently available for both chemigation and private pesticide applicator trainings and you can learn more about those online options below.
As a result of our UNL policy to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the following local in-person trainings are cancelled:
- Private Pesticide Applicator Training on March 16 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Community Center, 317 Main St, Plymouth (Cancelled)
- Chemigation Training on March 17 from 9:00 am to Noon at the Nemaha NRD District Office, 62161 Hwy 136, Tecumseh (Cancelled)
