07 Jun July 11 Noxious Weed Law Meeting Hosted at KDA
The updated Kansas Noxious Weed Law became official in February 2019. The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) is beginning the revisions of the associated regulations. A key part of developing the revisions is input from stakeholders and the general public.
The KDA invites you to a public meeting to discuss the new law, revisions to the regulations and to introduce the State Noxious Weeds Advisory Committee. This open discussion will be held at the Kansas Department of Agriculture, 1320 Research Park Drive, Manhattan, on Thursday, July 11 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.
