(KNSI) – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has awarded various local and county governments a total of $120,000 to fight noxious weeds. The 27 projects that were approved include $5,000 to Birchdale Township in Stearns County, Bellevue Township in Morrison County, and Kandiyohi County Soil and Water Conservation for weed control, the maximum possible for an individual project.

The 2022 Noxious Weed and Invasive Plant Grant funded the initiative. There are 48 noxious weeds recognized by the State of Minnesota. Noxious weeds are defined as plants that have the potential or are known to be harmful to human or animal health, the environment, public roads, crops, livestock, or other property.
