Common Mullein is on the local South Dakota w**d list, meaning that many counties have it on their list and enforcing it. As of this moment Davison County does not have it on their list, but will be adding it in the coming year. Please be on the look out for it. It can produce 1000s of seeds per plant. If you have it on your land it is best to cut it and destroy the plant so it does not produce after it dries. If you think you have it or do have it and have questions you can contact my office and I will help you identify and help you come up with a plan to eliminate it.

PUBLIC NOTICE – SPRAYING ROADS



Davison County will be spraying County and Township Roads in Davison County for w**d control beginning approximately the 1st day of May 2024. Anyone person having shrubs, trees, and/or gardens that could be injured or harmed should place a WHITE FLAG on the fence line, or in the center of the ditch at each end of the area to be bypassed by the sprayer.

Please mark with a WHITE FLAG, in the ditches and rights-of-way, the following NOXIOUS WEEDS: Leafy Spurge, Canada Thistle, Perennial Sow Thistle, Hoary Cress, Russian Knapw**d, Purple Loosestrife, Salt Cedar, Musk Thistle, Bull Thistle, Plumeless Thistle, Wormwood Sage (Absinth Wormwood), Yellow Toadflax. Persons are encouraged to mark the foregoing listed noxious w**ds growing in the ditches and rights-of-way for spot spraying in the spring and fall.

Marking flags should be large enough, preferably twelve (12) inches square, so they are easily visible from the road.

If persons do not want the roads adjoining their property sprayed and choose to mow or control the trees and all noxious w**ds themselves or persons who do not want the ditches sprayed because grasses are used for agricultural feed stuffs or hay, they must come to the Davison County W**d Office, 1224 West 5th Avenue, Mitchell, South Dakota and sign a HERBICIDE/PESTICIDE RESTRICTION REQUEST.

The chemicals used to control noxious w**ds in the rights-of-way may have haying and grazing restrictions.

Persons needing assistance or that have questions concerning noxious w**d control should contact W**d Supervisor, Tyler Page, at 605-995-8625.
