Want to Become a Crop Duster?

TWIN FALLS, Idaho – Want to be a crop duster? Or maybe you're seeking a career as an agronomist or a position that requires certification to spray chemicals.

If so, the College of Southern Idaho can help. Before Aug. 21, when the fall semester begins, sign up for the Pest Management course.

The four-credit course will cover a wide range of pest control and management techniques for crops, according to course instructor Dr. Narelle Moore.
