Our IRM Intern Wes got deployed last week to fight wildfires in Colorado! Wes has been an integral part of our staff this year and we wish him luck in the time he is gone. This summer he has helped in drastically improving the efficiency of the W**d Commission, managed numerous prairie plantings in the right-of-way and developed new seed cleaning techniques to help us diversify our plantings. Benton County IRM is proud to support these types of opportunities and we look forward to hearing some good stories when he gets back!

Roadside spraying will begin on 5/20/2020. The Benton County IRM Program runs two trucks to provide this service annually and we cover every mile (~ 5,000 acres of right-of-way) of the secondary road system throughout the summer. Our spray mixture is designed to target noxious w**ds such as Canada Thistle, undesirable trees and brush and invasive plants such as Wild Parsnip. This mixture includes Milestone, 2,4 D, Es**rt and a surfactant. We run a spot spray operation that allows us to be both effective and economical.
