We can hope. A few signs of spring may mean manure application season will be here soon.
While it's still cold, take time to dig out your manure applicator certificate and make sure it's current. If not, there's still time, and three ways, to renew your certification or take required training.
Check the IMMAG or DNR websites to schedule training with Iowa State Extension or pass a test at a DNR field office. Or, log in and take the training online through DNR's website.
