Noxious Weed Control Sibley County Public Works Sibley County works with cities and townships on weed inspections. In addition, letters are sent to the city and township officials to check all lands for noxious weeds and/or nuisance weeds. The township officials conduct weed tours in June and July. If noxious weeds are found, the townships report to the county to send out such notices to the individual landowners. The noxious weeds should be destroyed or eradicated by effective methods to prevent the weeds from blooming and seeds maturing or spreading by roots or root stock. The 2022 Noxious Weed List can be viewed on the Sibley County Website; https://www.co.sibley.mn.us/government/departments/public_works/index.php The elimination of noxious weeds and brush on land under the jurisdiction of Sibley County Public Works is required by the Minnesota Noxious Weed Law (Minnesota State Statutes, Sections 18.75 to 18.91 and Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1505). Residents wishing NOT to have a specific county road roadside ditch sprayed, need to fill out a No Spray Request Form. The agreement can be made yearly or for the lifetime of a property owner. The road ditch spray chemicals typically applied directly to the noxious weeds. Chemicals used: Tordon K, Transline, Escort, Milestone, Forefront and 2-4D. No Spray Request Form Anyone wishing to NOT have a specific county road ditch sprayed should contact the Sibley County Public Works Office at 507-237-4092 before April 8, 2022 for a form. The No Spray Request Form is available from the Office via: E-mail: SibleyPW@co.sibley.mn.us Or website – Public Works-Dust Control & No Spray: www.co.sibley.mn.us Landowners/renters are required to flag the no spray zone with “Owner Will Maintain” flags provided by Sibley County Public Works. The use of these flags will aid Sibley County Public Works maintenance crews in identifying which areas landowners/renters do not want sprayed. Flags are available at the Public Works office in Gaylord and at all county highway garages in Arlington, Gaylord, Gibbon, Green Isle, Henderson, Winthrop and at the Sibley County Gravel Pit. We will now be offering “LIFETIME” No Spray Request Forms if you wish to purchase “No Spray” permanent signs for $21.38 each. (not including post) By requesting that Sibley County does not spray your road ditch, landowners/ renters agree to maintain the noxious weeds and brush in the specified road ditches in their entirety. When landowners/renters do not respond, we will assume it is acceptable to spray. No spray areas that are not maintained will be sprayed by Sibley County Public Works. The County may begin spraying on or after April 15, 2022. Public Works will be broadcast spraying all of the county roads west of State Highway 22 this year, and spot spraying the roads east of State Highway 22. Next year we will be broadcast spraying all of the county roads east of State Highway 22 and spot spraying the county roads west of State Highway 22. Please notify the Public Works Department if you discover weeds in the county road ditches. 25-26c
