Illinois farmers could soon see changes to the way pesticide licensing is handled.
Lawmakers in the top soybean-producing state passed a bill to amend the applicator licensing process. Right now, farmers take renewal exams every three years. That system is being replaced with a continuing education program, and first-time applicants must pass a 100-question test. After that, they can renew their status through the program.
Illinois fertilizer groups support the bill, which now goes to the governor’s desk.
