Any grads of thier Ag training program out there?
Just wondering what you thought of the program and if it was worth it.

Thanks

I am not a grad of the program but have heard very good things about it.
Fran is very experienced and well respected in the ag industry as are the other instructors there. I'm sure you are aware of the new insurance requirements for all new ag pilots to have ag training before they start spraying. I believe there is another school in Yorkton and one or two in Manitoba which have good reputations as well.

If you were thinking about the Battleford program for this spring and have not talked to them, might be good idea to contact Fran. Had heard about 3 weeks ago that no one had yet signed up to take it. I have a feeling they probably want a certain number in, before starting the course up.

Good luck if you decide to go.

Both the schools in Sask have good reputations. The one in Yorkton you get some time on an Ag Truck, but you also pay for it.

The CAAA website doesn't show any schools in Manitoba. I know there was one, but not a real good reputation.
