          Frequently Asked Questions:
          1.  Why do we need a noxious weed law?
                    A weed is declared noxious when it is determined that it seriously
         

          threatens the welfare of the citizens of the state and a sustained

                    effort is necessary to prevent economic loss. Regulations are
                    implemented to control the weed and prevent it’s spread.
          2.  Can a landowner be forced to control noxious weeds on their property?
                    Failure to comply with a served legal notice can result in a fine of up
                    to $1500 or being billed for control work being done.
          3.  What about weeds such as sunflowers, bindweed, dandelions and
               velvetleaf?
                    Only those weeds designated as noxious by the Nebraska Department
                    of Agriculture are under the jurisdiction of the weed control authority.
