Warnings Issued on Musk Thistles in Franklin County
Franklin County escalates action against musk thistles with legal notices for 20 to 30 noncompliant landowners. Noxious Weed Director Ray DeJulio says failures cost farmers and pastures, and penalties cover chemical costs, application, and a 10 percent surcharge. Officials warn old seed can germinate for five years, so yearly treatment is required. Checks will occur on plots with musk thistle weevils to assess progress after releases.
