Online Platform Expands Access to Licensing and Registration

The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA), in collaboration with Accela Inc., has launched an innovative Pesticide Portal that delivers around-the-clock access to pesticide-related services and information.

The online platform is designed to improve efficiency, simplify public access, and modernize the way pesticide programs operate across Montana.

Through this partnership, MDA can now provide digital services that enhance communication between the department and users while improving convenience and transparency.

The portal offers a wide range of tools for individuals, organizations, and businesses involved in pesticide use and regulation.

To access the portal’s full features, users must register and create a personal account. Registered users can view records, submit inquiries, and complete service requests.

Limited access remains available for anonymous users. “We trust this will provide you with a new, higher level of service that makes living and working in our community a more enjoyable experience,” stated the MDA.

The Pesticide Portal can be accessed at aca-prod.accela.com/agr. For public searches, including applicator licenses, pesticide brands, and courses, visit ebizws.mt.gov/AGR_PUBLICPORTAL.

For more information or inquiries:

Licensing: pestlicensing@mt.gov
Product registration: pestreg@mt.gov

The MDA remains committed to advancing Montana’s agricultural industry by leveraging technology to make regulatory services faster and more user-friendly.

Video: Early Fall Colors | Scenic Ontario Road Trip!

All adventures must come to an end, but not without one more journey! Join The Wandering Shepherds as we say farewell to our cozy Calabogie cottage and take the scenic road trip home to Ewetopia Farms. Our first stop was a breathtaking hydroelectric generating station, framed by cliffs, rushing water, and brilliant fall leaves that seemed to have changed overnight. From there, we meandered along winding backroads through lakes and hills, soaking in the spectacular autumn scenery. This year, the colors seemed to arrive earlier than usual—perhaps due to the summer’s drought? Whatever the reason, it was an unforgettable display of Ontario’s fall beauty. Finally, our holiday drew to a close as we pulled back into Ewetopia Farms, ready to return to the sheep and our daily vlogs. But this trip reminded us how important it is to pause, explore, and appreciate the simple beauty around us.
