Huron County to attack weeds head on Huron County Council's agriculture' and property committee will have another look at weed control with an eye to backing the weed inspector in his attempt to enlarge the. noxious weed list. At its Sept. 6 meeting, the county learned that its request to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to have authority to develop a county list on top of the provincial list of noxious weeds was turned down. A letter from the ministry suggests that local municipalities may pass bylaws designating local weeds in part or all of the municipality. The bylaw does have to be ap- proved by the ministry. The agriculture and property committee suggested that farmers be encouraged to follow control recommendations, but after several reeves spoke of their own weed pro- blems, it was decided to pursue the matter further. It was agreed that weed inspector Joe Gibson needs tougher laws to enforce Weeu control. Hay Township Reeve Lionel Wilder said Velvet Leaf is not a local problem but is a county -wide problem. He suggested the county go back to the province to get Velvet Leaf put on the noxious weed list. Jimson weed is another problem weed the Hay reeve said. Goderich Deputy Reeve Jim Britnell sug- gested that the agriculture and property committee study the weed problem and br- bng back a report to county council.
