2 <br /> <br /> <br />Weed Control Progress Report Oct 31, 2019 <br /> <br />Period from Sept 9 to Oct 31, 2019 submitted by Stan Wolf <br /> <br />New Business: <br /> <br />Landowner Assistance Program: Seven landowners applied for LAP. 331 <br />acres were sprayed with expected reimbursements come to $4168.52. Enclosed <br />is the <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to approve Landowner Assistance Program payments <br />totaling $4,168.52. <br /> <br />Discussion action: <br /> <br />One landowner is requesting reimbursement of $280.00 for the application cost <br />on 80 acres where he applied 2,4-D herbicide. The area is a pasture with access <br />to cropland for fall grazing. He has concerns regarding grazing restrictions of <br />other herbicides on cropland. He feels that he is getting good control of Canada <br />thistle and Absinth wormwood using 2,4-D in the spring. The board has not <br />approved 2,4-D herbicide as an approved herbicide for reimbursement. <br /> <br />Discussion: Do we reimburse application cost for non-approved herbicides? <br /> <br />NDWCA Conference: The annual NDWCA conference will be held on January <br />6 to 9, 2020 at the Ramada Inn in Bismarck, ND. Conference registration is <br />$150, $130 if paid prior to December 20, 2019. Membership renewal is $275.00, <br />which is good for one year. <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to pay conference registration, $130.00 and <br />membership renewal, $275.00. <br /> <br />The Education Committee will hold a benefit auction with proceeds going to <br />education expenses such as the sprayer schools held in the spring. Attendees <br />are asked to contribute items for the auction. Previously the board has approved <br />funds to purchase items for the auction. <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to approve $60.00 for auction items. <br /> <br />Bio-Control: Cass County Natural Resources has asked if bio-control options <br />could be utilized for Pollinator CRP plantings. They have three pollinator sites <br />with Leafy spurge and Canada thistle. Mr. Wolf replied that we are making <br />available Leafy spurge flea beetles to landowners at no cost and have purchased <br />and released Canada thistle stem mining weevils. Last year the board approved <br />the purchase of 10 releases of Canada thistle stem mining weevils, which were <br />released in several locations, including at least one pollinator planting.
