Marshall County Adopts Noxious-Weeds Resolution, Orders Eradication of Palmer Amaranth
Summary
The Board adopted Resolution 2026-0018 under Iowa Code Chapter 317 listing Class A and Class B noxious weeds and ordering eradication of Palmer amaranth and control of other listed species; enforcement tools and penalties were described in the resolution.
The Marshall County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026-0018 May 20, implementing noxious-weed control under Chapter 317 of the Iowa Code and the Iowa Department of Agriculture administrative code. The resolution lists Palmer amaranth as a Class A noxious weed that “must be eradicated,” and identifies multiple Class B species that landowners must control to prevent spread.
Planning and Zoning Director and Weed Commissioner Tyler Kelley reviewed the resolution, saying there are no substantive changes from last year’s version. The resolution outlines enforcement steps including notice, county abatement by the weed commissioner or agents if property owners fail to comply, and assessments or fines to recover county costs.
