Agricultural product producers or homeowners who wish to acquire a Private Applicators License through the Texas Department Of Agriculture should plan to attend a training and testing program scheduled for Friday, July 10th in the 2nd Floor Assembly Room of the Grayson County Courthouse in Sherman.  

The training and testing will begin at 8:00 A.M. sharp and last until about 1:30 P.M.  Study manuals are available for $35.00 for the set in the Grayson County Extension Office.  It is suggested that you pick up these study manuals and review the material and questions prior to the training and testing date.  

Please bring a pencil and a calculator to the class.  After the training, the test will be administered by a Texas Department Of Agriculture representative.  Upon passing the Private Applicator test, there are forms and a license fee that will need to be sent to TDA in Austin.  Persons wishing to become licensed in order to buy and use "Restricted Use" chemicals on their own private property need to take this training and testing.  

Please call the Extension Office at (903) 813-4206 to reserve a space for the class.  Seating is limited.  If you need further information, please contact Chuck Jones, County Extension Agent - Agriculture and Natural Resources  at (903) 813-4202.
