The Beltrami County Highway department will soon begin roadside ditch spraying along county roads.
Starting May 24, selective herbicides will be used that control brush and noxious weeds such as spotted knapweed, thistle, tansy, and wild parsnip.
The herbicides reportedly allow grass to grow, but landowners who do not want spray adjacent to their property must place “begin of no spray” and “end of no spray” signs at the beginning and end segments of the adjacent ditch.
These signs must be clearly visible to the spraying contractor.
A map of the roads scheduled to be subject to this herbicide treatment is available on the Beltrami County website.
The herbicide is fully approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Questions and concerns can be directed to the Highway Department at 333-8173.
