The Montana State University Pesticide Education Program (PEP) would like to announce multiple last chance private applicator credit opportunities for applicators in need of credits within or near PAT district 5. Trainings in Malta, Bozeman, Hardin, Joliet and Twin Bridges can aid district 5 applicators in attaining 6 credits prior to the January 1st deadline.
