PUBLIC NOTICE – SPRAYING ROADS Davison County will be spraying County and Township Roads in Davison County for weed control beginning approximately the 1st day of May 2022. Anyone person having shrubs, trees, and/or gardens that could be injured or harmed should place a WHITE FLAG on the fence line, or in the center of the ditch at each end of the area to be bypassed by the sprayer.

Persons are encouraged to mark the foregoing listed noxious weeds growing in the ditches and rights-of-way for spot spraying in the spring and fall. Marking flags should be large enough, preferably twelve (12) inches square, so they are easily visible from the road. If persons do not want the roads adjoining their property sprayed and choose to mow or control the trees and all noxious weeds themselves or persons who do not want the ditches sprayed because grasses are used for agricultural feed stuffs or hay, they must come to the Davison County Weed Office, 1224 West 5th Avenue, Mitchell, South Dakota and sign a HERBICIDE/PESTICIDE RESTRICTION REQUEST. The chemicals used to control noxious weeds in the rights-of-way may have haying and grazing restrictions.
