Taking control of weeds
Grant to help ranchers, farmers combat invasive weeds

Invasive and noxious weeds have been known to disrupt soil nutrient and
water distribution, affecting native grasses and plant populations as well
as being detrimental to the pocketbooks of farmers and ranchers who
experience production losses as a result of their presence.
In an effort to help educate producers about the effects of these weeds
and help to eradicate them, the Upper Dakota Resource Conservation and
Development Council, one of eight regional councils of the North Dakota
Resource Conservation and Development Association, recently obtained a
second round of funding to help combat the prevalence of these weeds on
grazing land in Bottineau, Burke, McHenry, Mountrail, Pierce, Renville and
Ward counties.
