To obtain a private applicator license, you must contact your local county extension agent as they administer private applicator licensing. A private applicator license allows private landowners to purchase and apply restricted herbicides. You will need to purchase a private applicator training manual, and you are required to take an applicator test. The fee is $50.00 and your license is then good for five years. Please link to this site for additional information http://agr.state.mt.us/licensing/privateappl.asp. There is also Initial Applicator Training offered each March from the Department of Agriculture and MSU. It is usually held in Lewistown, please check out this web lik for further information http://agr.state.mt.us/licensing/initialtraining.
