Noxious Weed Cost Share
The Longmont Conservation District offers cost-share funds to landowners in their District to reduce or eliminate the infestation of noxious weeds on non-cropped land such as irrigation canals and/or fence rows.
The cost-share is offered as reimbursement up to 50% of the actual cost of the chemicals not to exceed $250 per farm per year with a limit of $500 per individual or entity.
Targeted weeds in Boulder County are: Canada thistle, Musk thistle and Scotch Thistle; Dyer’s woad; diffuse knapweed, Russian knapweed, and spotted Knapweed; Leafy spurge; Yellow starthistle; Purple loosestrife; and Dalmatian and Yellow Toadflax.
