Celestine Duncan Coming to Custer County May 30th


I am happy to announce that Celestine Duncan from Helena, MT will be joining us in Custer County on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 to teach a Weed Identification & Control Course (see attached flyer for additional information). Celestine brings with her a large variety of live plants (weeds) that she grows in her greenhouses in Montana. This provides a great, hands-on learning environment for those in attendance.
Besides weed identification, Celestine will be covering integrated weed management, new herbicides on the market, important considerations for herbicide application, and sprayer calibration.

The class will be held at the Y Inn Dining Room from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Lunch will be served. 4 re-certification credits have been applied for. Cost of the workshop is $20/person. This fee includes lunch and all course materials.


This is a great opportunity and not one that comes along every year! I hope you will consider attending and taking full advantage of Celestine’s weed & plant knowledge!!
Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested!  You do not have to be a “weed sprayer” to attend!
