Collapse ▲Starting in January 2019, North Carolina Cooperative Extension in Currituck County will be publishing a monthly newsletter containing a detailed list of important agricultural related events in and around Currituck County. Each of these event descriptions will include information on what the event is about, who is presenting, when and where the event is held, and how to sign up or pre-register. Concluding the event list will be a table summarizing the material from the newsletter for quick reference. You can expect February’s letter around the first of the month!
Currituck Crop Newsletter – January
Private Pesticide Applicator Testing & Review Session – Jan. 18th
Changes made to the labels of dicamba-containing products labeled for over the top use in cotton and soybean have created new requirements for 2019. Anyone planning to apply dicamba (Engenia, FeXapan, or Xtendimax) over the top to dicamba-tolerant cotton or soybeans must be a certified applicator, and attend a mandatory Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices training (even if the training was attended in past years). This requirement mandates that whoever is driving the sprayer needs to have a private applicator pesticide license (those working under the supervision of a certified applicator may no longer make applications), before then attending one of the mandatory trainings.
To assist with anyone needing to obtain a pesticide license, we will be having a review session for the private applicator pesticide exam on Friday, January 18, 2019 at the Pasquotank County Extension Center from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., with a break from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m., followed by a test starting at 11:00 a.m. There is a fee of $10 for taking the test, so come prepared to pay.
On February 26, there will be two Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices trainings in northeastern North Carolina. One will be held at the Currituck County Extension Center at 11:00 a.m. and the other will be held at Leon Nixon’s Catering, 749 Virginia Rd., Edenton, NC at 3:00 p.m. Labels for 2,4-D chlorine-containing products (Enlist One and Enlist Duo) do not require that an applicator be certified to apply these products over the top. However, the NC 24(c) label requires that you must attend an Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices training to legally apply 2,4-D chlorine over the top.
NC Soybean Festival – Jan. 22nd
The annual NC Soybean Festival will take place on Tuesday, January 22 at the K. E. White Center on the campus of ECSU. The event begins with the Farmers’ Forum at 4:00 p.m. with a panel made up of two guest speakers. Andrew Branan, Extension Assistant Professor, Agricultural & Resource Economics, NCSU; will address Land Rental and Lease Agreements, as well as Liability Issues with Farming Operations. Michelle Wang, International Marketing Specialist, NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services will be sharing International Marketing Opportunities for NC Soybean. The doors open to the public at 5:30 p.m. to view exhibits, with the program officially starting at 6:15 p.m. This year’s program again consists of the announcement of the poster contest awards and the recognition of the soybean yield contest winners from Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank and Perquimans. Dinner and entertainment will be provided.
