Mountain View County does weed inspections on private land, primary highways and the Canadian Pacific Railway on an annual basis. Weeds on all County road allowances are controlled chemically or mechanically. Ratepayers may enter into a Weed Control Agreement with the County and assume responsibility for their own weed control.

Farmers who manage their own weed control on Tall Buttercup and/or Wild Caroway are eligible for the County's Incentive Program which provides a 10% rebate on the cost of chemicals and $ 2.00 per acre for application. Farmers must submit receipts to the County Agriculture Department to qualify.

Brush and small trees are sprayed in the spring and removed with a brush mower within the following year.

Road Shoulders
Selected County Roads are sprayed annually in early spring with Arsenal to manage encroachment of grass on roads. Locations are determined by Operational Services staff.

Roadside Mowing
County roads are mowed annually on a rotation system to ensure all properties are managed fairly.

Roadside Weed Control
Herbicidies are applied to approximately one-third of County roadsides annually for noxious weed control.
