- Online registration! Though online registration is encouraged, walk-in registration will also be available at each location (cash, credit/debit card, and check accepted at the door).
- Commercial Animal Waste Applicators will now be able to attend workshops for recertification credit. Attending a workshop in 2019 will give you credit for 2020-2021. You will need to either attend a workshop or watch the video in 2021. Attending a workshop gives recertification credit for two years. Watching the video gives credit for one year. If you have questions, please call MDA at 651-201-6146 or email pesticide.recertification@mda.mn.us.
- Be sure to bring your CAWT card to the workshops to be scanned. This takes the place of filling out the CAWT card for attendance credit.
