Noxious Weeds FAQs
What can we do if we control our noxious weeds and our neighbors will do nothing on their land?
Call the County Weed Control, we can contact the landowner and if they refuse to control the problem, we can force spray and attach the cost to their property taxes.
What weed is it? What type of control should we use?
Contact the Weed Control and we will identify the problem and advise how to control it.
I would like to have my hay certified weed free. Who should I contact?
Call the County Weed Control prior to cutting your hay. We will inspect your hay for weeds. If your crop complies we will be able to certify it weed free.
Why does the County have to have a Weed Control Authority?
It is Nebraska State Law that each county in Nebraska will employ a Weed Control Superintendent. It will be his responsibility to enforce the Noxious Weed Control Act.
Can the County Weed Superintendent enter my property without permission?
Yes. The Superintendent or his inspectors may enter any property to inspect or take specimens of weeds or other materials, without the consent of the person owning or controlling such land and without being subject to any action for trespass or damages.
How is the County Weed Control funded?
The majority of the operating expenses are through spraying revenues that are charged to landowners for spraying.
