How is Weed Control Enforced?
When an infestation is identified, the landowner is notified in writing and given a variety of options on how to control the weeds. Including hand pulling, mowing or cutting; advice on pasture management and on the most effective and least harmful methods of applying herbicides.

Landowners control the majority of weed infestations voluntarily. The Weed Board controls approximately 2% of the known infestations.
