Red Willow County Weed Superintendent

The Red Willow County weed superintendent is the county’s noxious weed control authority, based at 108 W Railroad Service Road in McCook. Nebraska law requires every county to have one. The office inspects land for the weeds on the state noxious list — musk and Canada thistle, leafy spurge, phragmites, knapweed and the rest — and can require a landowner to control them, doing the work and billing for it if a notice is ignored. It is also the office to ring if you want to know what is spreading in your area, what to spray and when, or who is responsible for a roadside.
