Montana Department of Agriculture Launches New Pesticide Portal
Portal offers citizens, businesses, and visitors access to government services online
The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA), in partnership with Accela Inc., is announcing the launch of the new Pesticide Portal to deliver information and department services online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In partnership with Accela, Inc., the department can deliver e-government services and provide valuable information to the community while making interactions more efficient, convenient, and interactive.
To use ALL the services the MDA provides, a user must register and create a user account. From here, an individual can view information, get questions answered, and have limited services as an anonymous user. 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.
The new Pesticide Portal can be found at: AGR Pesticide Portal.
