5 <br /> <br />Monthly Report: <br /> <br />Roadside Spraying: The contractors supplied their state road reports for acres <br />sprayed on the state and interstate roads. The total acres sprayed, and <br />corresponding costs are down this year compared to years previous. This is <br />since the I94 right-of-way did not have enough weed pressure to warrant <br />spraying. Typically, the I94 right-of-way can include up to 1000 acres sprayed. <br />The following table shows the state road acres, state reimbursement along with <br />total acres sprayed and costs for the contractors. <br /> <br /> <br /> State State Total Total <br />Contractor Acres Cost Acres Cost <br /> <br />J&J Spraying 493 $19,574 4825 $ 180,847.75 <br />Walker 394 $18,057 4573 $ 209,606.28 <br /> <br /> Total 887 $37,631 9398 $ 390,454.28 <br /> <br />The total reimbursement for state roads is $37,631.
