Weed supervisor says cloud seeding program operational; Highland project funding only secured for current year
Summary
Weed Supervisor Scott Shuler reported on Nov. 26, 2012 that six cloud seeders were deployed Nov. 7 and county fuel will support operations for roughly two years; funding for Highland weed projects is available this year but not guaranteed next year.
Scott Shuler, Caribou County’s Weed Supervisor, updated the board on noxious-weed operations and cloud-seeding activity on Nov. 26, 2012. Shuler said cloud seeders were put out on Nov. 7 and six seeders are currently running; he reported the county has sufficient fuel to operate the seeders for approximately two years.
Shuler attended the Idaho Weed Control meeting in Idaho Falls and said funding for the Highland project is adequate for the current year and will support work on white top, yellow toadflax and leafy spurge projects, but funding is not assured for the following year. Shuler noted he is the new Highland chairman for the Highland Projects and is doing maintenance on weed trucks in preparation for spring operations. He requested to attend the February noxious weed meeting in Idaho Falls.
The minutes do not specify exact funding amounts or the planned schedule for next season’s control efforts.
