Weed control history and rising herbicide costs noted
The author recalls starting as weed supervisor in 1979 under Don Kennedy and Art Edmundson, recounting early price shocks for a five gallon pail of 2 4 D amine and comparing past and present herbicide costs. He notes current products for scentless chamomile and other weeds cost about 1900 for a 20 litre case with two years of control, and mentions new invasive giant hogweed and the need for early detection and rapid response by weed districts. Community involvement and reporting to local offices are urged, with Midwest Weed Control District contact at 764 2617.
