You get what you focus on

You get what you focus on

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau If you choose to see what’s wrong, if you choose to see what’s broken, if you choose to focus on the things that are bad, they will become exaggerated. They will begin to monopolize your thoughts, you’ll see them anywhere. 02/19/2022 09:37 AM

Pesticide training next week

Pesticide training next week

Spring is just around the corner and weeds will be emerging in your rangeland shortly, so it is time to take your Private Pesticide Applicator Training. For the first time in many years, there are new herbicide active ingredients registered for weed control in pasture and rangelands. Some of the most effective weed control products must be applied very early in spring to small weeds, and in some instances even before weed seeds germinate. Note that a Private Applicator License will be required to purchase and/ or apply RESTRICTED USE (RU) herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. 02/16/2022 07:38 AM
