Route grasslands keep Minnesota highways safe and neat
The Minnesota Highway Department mows 200000 acres along 12104 miles of trunk roads to prevent erosion and keep grass from overtaking shoulders. Mowing prioritizes shoulder slopes, delaying non shoulder work until July 15 to protect wildlife, with 14 to 16 mowers needed to cover the vast right of way amid partnerships with the Natural Resources Department.
