Farmer NH3 Training
IFCA is working closely with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Illinois Farm Bureau, and Illinois Corn Growers Association to develop an online anhydrous ammnoia safety trainig program for farmers. The training program being developed is based off of actual anhydrous ammnoia accidents that have occurred in Illinois over the last two years. Although the training program is strictly voluntary to attend, IFCA is working closely with IFB, IDA and ICGA to promote the program. The Asmark Institute is also developing a day long anhydrous ammonia safety course which will be offered at the new Asmark Agricenter in Bloomington, IL. Both the online farmer ammonia training and Asmark Institute farmer ammonia training course are voluntary programs which will be available for anyone to attend.
