3 <br /> <br />Purple loosestrife: We have sprayed the Fargo location a couple of times. One <br />additional site was found east of Absaraka with Spotted hemlock. <br /> <br />Northern Plains Weed Management Symposium: Mr. Wolf attended the <br />Weed Management Symposium on August 23-25 in Washburn, ND. Among the <br />sessions were discussions on new GPS data collection equipment and spray <br />drones. A spray applicator flew his spray drone to showcase what the drone can <br />do. The spray drone will be quite useful as it can go in areas where a helicopter <br />cannot fly, alongside powerlines or trees. Expected cost of contracting a drone <br />sprayer presently runs approx. $400/hour plus herbicide. A single spray drone <br />can cover 25 acres/hour. By comparison, a spray helicopter costs approx. <br />$1400/hour. <br /> <br /> <br />Upcoming Events: <br /> <br />NDWCA Board meeting September 27, Bismarck <br />NDWCA Area meeting October 24, TBD
