The Reshow Confinement Site Manure Applicator Certification program offers an important opportunity for producers and applicators to renew their certification and stay informed about manure management requirements.
The session takes place on Thursday, January 15, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the ISU Extension and Outreach Sioux County office in Orange City, Iowa.
This program is designed for individuals who apply manure from confinement feeding operations and need to maintain their certification. The reshow option allows certified applicators to review required material without repeating the full initial training. It supports continued compliance with Iowa manure application rules and helps protect soil and water resources.
During the session, participants learn about current manure management regulations, proper application methods, and environmental responsibilities.
The training focuses on safe handling, accurate nutrient application, and record keeping practices. These topics help applicators reduce risk, improve efficiency, and support long-term farm sustainability.
ISU Extension and Outreach leads the program, providing research-based education in a clear and practical format. The training is suitable for producers, farm employees, and custom applicators involved in confinement site manure application.
The session also provides updates on rule changes and reminders of important responsibilities tied to certification.
The event takes place at 400 Central Avenue NW, Suite 700, in Orange City. The location offers a local and accessible option for Sioux County producers and nearby communities. Participants are encouraged to arrive on time to ensure they receive full credit for the certification reshow.
