For years, the Extension office has received a shipment of the Farmer’s Tax Guide and we have distributed those to banks and other locations around the county for people to pick up. We just found out that we will not be receiving this publication this year as the IRS has dropped the number of publications they are printing. If you still need a copy of this publication, you can access it for free from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/uac/About-Publication-225.

Farmers needing to be certified or recertified to purchase and/or apply restricted use pesticides to land they farm, whether owned or rented, will want to attend the training offered on Wednesday, January 27. Two sessions will be held that day at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the First National Bank Northeast meeting room in Tekamah. Preregistration is not required, just attend the session that is most convenient for you.
Burt County farmers whose certification expires this spring should have received a letter from me as well as the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in December. However, if your certification expired in previous years or if you have never been certified in the past, but need certified now, you will want to be sure to make note of these training dates and plan to attend.
If this date does not work, I have a list of when training is offered in surrounding counties or you may go to http://pested.unl.edu/ for a list of all private applicator classes offered across the state.
