Each year, the Agriculture and Natural Resource Extension Agent works with local Ag Producers to Calibrate their chemicals and Fertilizer Application Equipment.  These chemicals can range from both traditional and organic pest controls to natural and synthetic soil amendments.   As chemicals change and equipment advances, farmers regularly work with the local extension agent to ensure they are accurately applying products to the land and crops.  One of the reasons this assistance is important is to ensure applicator safety and proper applications.  Many farmers regularly calibrate equipment to prevent inaccurate application and costly waste of such products. This one-on-one instruction helps to ensure the safety of the applicator, the crops, and the environment.
