On Wednesday, August 5, Governor Mark Gordon signed an Executive Order authorizing emergency relief permits for vehicles transporting oversize and overweight loads of livestock feed and livestock across Wyoming. This order is intended to eliminate barriers and accelerate the delivery of hay and forage to help livestock operators in drought-stricken areas of the state.
As more hay is brought into Wyoming and moved around the state, the spread of noxious weeds becomes a real threat. The Wyoming Weed and Pest Council and the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts urge hay buyers to be on the lookout for new weed infestations. Early detection and rapid response can save landowners thousands in future control costs if treated before weeds can spread. Hay buyers are being asked to report any signs of weeds or strange-looking plants to their local weed and pest districts.
Wyoming Department of Agriculture Weed and Pest Coordinator Lindsey Woodward said the last thing producers need to worry about at this point is noxious weeds taking over their land. Woodward added that every county in the state has a Weed and Pest District standing by to provide support, so if you see anything out of the ordinary, reach out and they’ll address the situation and make recommendations as needed.
