Weeding out the worst offenders

The state Agriculture Department is asking North Dakotans to help compile a list of noxious weeds. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said the designation is important because much of the money spent on weed control each year targets plants that are considered the biggest problem.

N.D. using bugs to fight thistle

N.D. using bugs to fight thistle BISMARCK — Officials in North Dakota plan to release 100,000 bugs this fall to combat what has become the state’s peskiest plant. Over time, entomologists believe the stem-mining weevils will help reduce stands of Canada thistle, a prickly elbow-high plant with a purple flower that infests more than a million acres in the state.

Weed-free certification program subject of bill

Team studies fix to perennial problem

The solution to a perennial problem of farming could be, well, perennials. Researchers at Iowa State University are experimenting with the placement of perennial prairie strips in corn and soybean fields as a way of lessening runoff and soil erosion — problems nearly as old as farming itself.

Coming together to help curb weed growth

Like many people across the state, my dad is part of a group that meets most mornings for a main course of coffee and a side of conversation. For this group the gathering place is a local gas station, but for other it’s a grain elevator, cafe or even a neighbor’s garage or shop. Regardless of the location, the matrix is usually men from an array of work and personal backgrounds. I have my own little hangouts, but when travel allows I find myself swinging down to meet my dad’s coffee crew once or twice a year.

Yellow Toadflax a noxious weed

These are such beautiful snapdragons… I was on a business trip with my wife last year. We stopped at her brother’s home. As I got out of the car, I noticed that he had a plant about a foot tall growing along the curb. The plant had pretty yellow flowers on top of a single stem. I asked my brother-in-law where these flowers came from. He said that he did not know. He thought that they were snapdragons.

Weed-free certification questioned

North Dakota’s Agriculture De-partment wants to get out of the business of certifying livestock forage and rock products as weed-free, but county officials say they don’t want the job pushed on them. State and county officials agree on the need for a statewide certification program. Feed could be certified weed-free, for example, when a horse owner takes hay into a national park, or gravel could be certified weed-free for a landowner who buys it but wants no weeds brought on his property with the rocks.
