Weed District office moves O n July 1, 1995, the Morrow County Weed Con trol District moved its base of operatio ns to the Morrow Coun ty Public Works building in Lexington. This move was made to facili- tate a change in the responsi- bilities of the weed control supervisor, Dave Pranger. ln addition to noxious weed control and enforcement, Pran- ger will also be in charge of the county roadside spray program that h ad been contracted out in the past. O ther smaller inter- governmental spray contracts prev10usly held by the weed control district to help supple- ment its budget will be con- tracted elsewhere o that Pran- ger may focus on county roads and noxious weed concerns. Pranger encourages anyone that has special concerns about county roadside spraying or noxious weeds to contact him at his office, 989-9502. The Morrow SWCD Board continues to serve as the Weed Advisory Board. •,.·,~··1•1•.•,·,·~·.·.-.·.·.·.· . , . ......... ·.·.~ . ·,,··········· ·· • • •.••· . • • • • ." •.• •.• • 9 41 · . • . •• :a;, •.J • 1 I .• • : • ,• • ,.• "'• • ,• • •._• . .. \ .• •: .• -,· ... :. • ' •: WE SPECIALIZE IN: Farm and Ranch Insurance and Crop Insurance as well as stored hay .
