Buffalo considers timber rattlesnake bounty in county
Buffalo County Agriculture Committee weighs a bounty as some board members push to control rattlesnakes. DNR wildlife manager says past $5 rewards ended in 1975 and notes swamp rattler is protected, while timber rattlers remain unprotected and can be hunted for skin meat and venom trade.

Eau Claire PIK weed rule revised by ASCS committee
The Eau Claire County ASCS committee will not require PIK participants to clip weeds if noxious weeds are absent. Noxious species listed are Canadian thistle, leafy spurge and field bind weed. Spot checks of 10 percent will target farms with complaints and those over 246 acres. Penalties include 75 to 180 dollars per acre for unauthorized grazing, harvest or weed cutting failures, and erosion control breaches. Rulings also note state limits on bounties for rattlesnakes and argue marketing timber rattlers rather than paying bounties. The item then shifts to Polk County conservation tillage tours scheduled September 13–14 with farm visits and meeting points in Milltown and Osceola area.
