Noxious weed program steps up spraying; Johnson grass mapped for treatment
Summary
Noxious Weed Director Kevin Peroutek told commissioners crews attempt daily spray runs when weather permits to control bindweed and thistles and that David Gagne has been marking locations of Johnson grass; staff will attend a summer conference for continuing education credit.
Kevin Peroutek, who serves as Jewell County's Noxious Weed Director and Emergency Preparedness Director, told commissioners crews are "trying to get one load of spray out every morning when it is not raining for bindweed and thistles." He added that David Gagne has been marking spots for Johnson grass and that he and Gagne will attend a summer conference in Newton; the training hours will count toward certification continuing education.
Peroutek earlier said he attended a homeland security meeting last week and reviewed a log jam in Salina as part of emergency-preparedness coordination. The transcript does not include spray acreage, herbicide names, or specific treatment schedules beyond the described daily attempt; such details were not specified during the meeting.
