Commission authorizes 2025 weed-chemical purchases totaling $258,572.60
Summary
Lyon County approved buying 5,940 gallons of 2,4‑D from MFA for $80,190 and five other weed-control chemicals from Van Diest Supply Co. for $178,382.60, all charged to the Noxious Weed chemical account (026-00-8330).
Amy Welch, Lyon County Noxious Weed Director, presented the county’s 2025 chemical-bid recommendation and said the purchases would cover the year’s needs. Commissioners approved buying 5,940 gallons of 2,4‑D from MFA for $80,190.00 (account 026-00-8330) and purchasing five other chemicals from Van Diest Supply Company for $178,382.60; motions passed 3-0.
Officials noted the Van Diest bid was the lowest overall; commissioners discussed splitting purchases to buy 2,4‑D from MFA as a cost-saving measure. The minutes state these buys are intended for county use and for sale where applicable during the year. Motion records show both purchases were approved and budgeted to be paid from the Noxious Weed chemical account.
