2 <br /> <br /> <br />Weed Control Progress Report March 4, 2019 <br /> <br />Period from Feb 11 to March 4, 2019 submitted by Stan Wolf <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />Palmer amaranth Action Plan: The NDWCA has worked with the ND Dept of <br />Ag and NDSU Extension in developing a preliminary draft of a Palmer amaranth <br />Action Plan. The draft was been sent to the NDWCA Palmer Outreach <br />committee for comments. Please review the Action Plan and offer any <br />comments. Mr. Wolf plans to attend the upcoming NDWCA board meeting on <br />March 26 where the board will address the Action Plan with the ND Ag <br />Commissioner and NDSU Extension. <br /> <br />NDWAN: The North Dakota agricultural Weather Network operates remote <br />weather monitoring stations and provides up to the minute weather conditions via <br />web connection. The contract sprayers and Weed Control staff utilize the stations <br />within Cass County to determine weather conditions before and during spraying <br />operations. In previous years, the Weed Board has granted $500 to NDWAN to <br />help cover the costs of operating the remote weather stations. <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Approve a $500 sponsorship grant to NDWAN in Cass <br />County. <br /> <br /> <br />Work Order: Weed Control has conducted noxious weed control efforts for <br />various county, city and other local government agencies, billing the agency for <br />time and materials. Weed Control requests the government agencies to <br />complete a work order describing location and weed control efforts. The work <br />order lists the various charges on a per hour basis. The current rates have been <br />in effect for several years. Equipment and labor costs have increased over the <br />years. It is recommended that the rates be changed to reflect the North Dakota <br />Department of Ag’s in-kind rate chart. <br /> <br /> Current Proposed <br />UTV sprayer with Labor $50.00 $55.00 includes trailer, GPS, and <br />Hand sprayer with Labor $25.00 $30.00 average Labor - $26.21/hr. <br />Mileage – water truck $0.74 $0.75 <br />Mileage – pickup $0.58 <br />Herbicides at cost at cost <br />Commercial applicator at cost at cost <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Move to accept proposed labor and equipment rates for <br />outside government agency weed control work. <br />
