Summary
County Noxious Weeds Director nominee Benny Taylor told the commission the state’s official noxious-weed list changed May 15 — the first revision in 15 years — and the county has posted the updated guidance online.
Benny Taylor briefed the Atchison County Commission on a statewide revision to the official noxious-weed list that took effect May 15, saying it is the first change in 15 years and that the county has posted the updated information online.
