3 <br /> <br />Plant Tissue Analysis: Almost every year we receive calls from landowners or <br />farm operators stating that our spray operations have affected their adjacent <br />crops. Many times, it appeared that the crop response might be due to dry <br />conditions, adjacent farming operations, or other crop by environment <br />interactions. The only way to determine if crop response is due to herbicide drift <br />is to conduct a tissue analysis. The cost of tissue analysis for 2, 4-D, dicamba <br />and Tordon is ~ $150.00. <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Move to approve tissue analysis of possible herbicide drift. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Joint Powers Agreement: The current Joint Powers Agreement with the ND <br />Department of Agriculture to conduct Weed Seed Free Forage inspections will <br />expire on April 30, 2020. As what has happened in the past, a twelve-month <br />renewal of the agreement is expected to be forthcoming in early April. The <br />renewal will allow the Weed Board to continue to be an agent of the NDDA and <br />assign an inspector to conduct and certify hay land and straw mulch fields as <br />Weed Seed Free Forage. Cass County Weed Control has entered into a Joint <br />Powers Agreement with the NDDA since 2009 and has been renewed every year <br />since. <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to accept and sign the Joint Powers agreement and <br />assign Stan Wolf, Weed Officer as WSFF inspector. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A/C Replacement: The small window A/C unit situated in the back room has not <br />worked last summer. The unit is used to cool the office and keep the humidity <br />down. Replacement cost approx. $200.00 <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Move to purchase replacement A/C unit for back room. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Monthly Report <br /> <br />Noxious Weed Spray Bid Opening: The Noxious Spray Bid Opening was held <br />on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 1 PM at the Weed Control Office. Blain Laaveg, <br />Cass County Highway Dept and Stan Wolf, Cass County Weed Officer, were <br />present as the selection committee to open the bids. Also present was Ryan <br />Walker, Walker’s Lawncare. <br /> <br /> <br />
