Roadside- Hay, Seed, Spray

“What used to be known as a roadside haying permit has expanded to include roadside seeding and spraying in the county road right-of-way. Those wanting to hay, seed or spray on county roadsides must have an approved Haying, Seeding & Spraying agreement on file at the Weed Department. These forms require proof of liability insurance and must be renewed annually.”
