York County Board Discusses Mowing of Illicit Ditch Crops

york-countyYORK, Neb. (AP) — York County commissioners are discussing mowing crops that have been wrongfully planted in county rights of way such as roadside drainage ditches.

The plantings raise issues of safety as the plants grow and hamper motorists’ vision at rural intersections.

Commissioner Paul Buller said at a commissioners meeting earlier this week that “some of the same people have been doing it for years.”

A warning and information letter that would be sent to farmers is being drafted for commissioners to consider at their next meeting.
