County weed superintendent attends continuing education classes

Brian Hiett, the Cheyenne County weed superintendent, recently attended the Nebraska Weed Control Fall Training Seminar, held in Kearney. This was the third opportunity during 2014 to obtain 10 of the required 20 hours of continuing education needed by county weed superintendents statewide.

All 13 of Nebraska’s Weed Management Area groups gave an update during the two-day training. The results show thousands of acres of noxious and invasive plants being monitored, mapped, and controlled as well as successful awareness and outreach being accomplished.
