After Tuesday, June 30, applicators who have not met requirements will be required to retest to regain certification.

🚨 Last Call – Private Applicator Pesticide CEUs 🚨

This is a reminder for all private pesticide applicators that we are nearing the end of the current certification cycle. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) certification period runs through June 30, 2026, and all required continuing education units (CEUs) must be completed by that date to maintain certification.

If you have already completed your required 3 CEUs, your certification will automatically roll over into the new cycle.

If you are still short on points, this meeting is your last opportunity to earn CEUs before the rollover deadline. After June 30, 2026, applicators who have not met requirements will be required to retest to regain certification.

📍 Make plans to attend the upcoming pesticide applicator training session
📅 Don’t miss this final chance to get your points in for the current cycle
📌 Stay in good standing and avoid the hassle of retesting

For questions about your CEU status or certification, contact the UT Extension Office. (931)759-7163

Preseason workouts aren’t glamorous. They’re sweat, steel, and the quiet work teammates and coaches see. Moore County senior Aidan Moore is putting in that kind of work: benching 250 pounds while weighing 150. Pound for pound, that’s tough. Friday nights are getting closer ... 🏈
