Dunn County Weed Board reviews chemical bid, equipment readiness, inventory and building update
Summary
The board recorded a chemical bid from Nutrien Ag Solutions, scheduled maintenance for spray equipment, reviewed inventory and ordering timelines for the 2026 season, discussed a cost-share proposal for private applicators (decided it could exceed county affordability), and noted building work pending with JLG and engineering review.
During the March 4 meeting the Dunn County Weed Board reviewed old-business items including a chemical bid, equipment maintenance and chemical inventory, and received updates on a building project and state reporting requirements.
Minutes note the board received one chemical bid from Bill Walker of Nutrien Ag Solutions. The board discussed the maintenance and readiness of spray equipment for the upcoming season and scheduled necessary repairs and servicing. The chemical inventory was reviewed and the board discussed projected needs and ordering timelines to ensure availability for the 2026 spray season.
On a previous cost-share proposal for private applicators, the board discussed the idea of sharing costs when a private applicator is hired and reached consensus that the program could become unaffordable for the county and was not pursued further.
On facility matters, the board reported that building work is pending with JLG and that the project must proceed through an engineer before advancing. Staff also provided updates on required state reporting, applicator certifications and continuing education requirements intended to keep operations compliant with state rules.
No formal fiscal approvals or contract awards related to the chemical bid or building work were recorded in the minutes; the bid, repairs and compliance items were recorded for follow-up.
