3 <br /> <br />Proposed motion: Move to approve $750.00 for a trade booth at the Northern <br />Corn/Soy Expo. <br /> <br />Climate-Controlled Herbicide Storage: Mr. Wolf was asked by the Board to <br />investigate acquiring climate-controlled storage for storing herbicides during the <br />winter. Several of the herbicides utilized in the roadside right-of-way spraying <br />require above freezing temperatures for storage. Mr. Wolf inquired with Nutrien <br />Ag Solutions at Mapleton for rented space. Nutrien provides many of the <br />agricultural pesticides which also require climate-controlled conditions. Nutrien <br />has indicated that if they were to provide space, a contract would have to be <br />drawn up. As of this writing Nutrien has not responded. <br /> <br />Union Storage and Transfer Co, 4275 Main Ave., Fargo has climate-controlled <br />warehouse space available. Their warehouse is set up for chemical storage, spill <br />containment and non-flame heat source. Mr. Wolf has inspected their <br />warehouse, many different pesticides are stored in their facility. Cost for storing <br />the herbicides we would require would be approximately $1000.00 from February <br />to May. Delivery and pickup from Union Storage would require 24-hour notice. <br />The Union Storage office would provide the needed documentation for <br />shipping/receiving paperwork. The contractors could pick up their assigned <br />herbicides at any time provided Union Storage is notified who will pick up what <br />products. <br /> <br />Proposed Motion: Move to utilize Union Storage and Transfer to store and hold <br />purchased herbicides for roadside right-of-way spraying. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Monthly Report: <br /> <br /> <br />Noxious Weed Task Force: The ND Ag Commissioners Task Force 13, <br />scheduled for January 19 was postponed due to weather conditions. A date has <br />not been rescheduled at this time. <br /> <br />Method 24c Special Use Permit: The Method 24c Special use permit for the <br />use of Method in grazing pastures has been withdrawn by the North Dakota <br />Department of Agriculture at the request of the EPA The original label use of <br />Method is still in effect with a 365-day grazing and haying restriction after <br />application. <br /> <br />Weed Control Field Aid: Jeff Grieve has applied to work this summer. This will <br />be his eighth year working for Cass County Weed Control. <br /> <br />
