Looking for a GI BMP program to earn certification for the fertilizer applicator license? Looking to complete that online?
Well, the online BMP program is now available at https://gibmp.ifas.ufl.edu/gibmp/
The online program costs $15 and please note does not currently offer pesticide applicator CEUs but does offer a way to earn the certification currently required to comply with multiple local ordinances and the state law requiring a fertilizer applicator license beginning in 2014.
Also note I have heard the rumblings of the beginning of a fertilizer ordinance for Polk. We do have impaired water bodies in the County which means the County must adopt a minimum ordinance to comply with the above state law.
Hmmm… Take a look!
