Riley County’s noxious weed director told county commissioners that there is not musk thistle in the area but rather roadside thistle.
Michael Boller had a noxious weed update during Thursday’s Riley County Commission meeting that included the difference between musk and roadside thistle.
Musk thistle is not in season to bloom, so what people are seeing as they drive by is roadside thistle, which is not a species the noxious weed department targets and sprays for.
“Roadside thistle is an excellent food source for bees, insects and wild birds,” Boller said.
He also told commissioners that he plans to attend the State Fair Sept. 12-13 because it provides an opportunity to discuss noxious weed issues with people from across Kansas.
Manhattan city manager Ron Fehr also attended the county meeting to provide an update. He told commissioners that the Manhattan City Commission has set the property tax rate for the 2024 budget.
As previously reported by The Mercury, the set rate will increase property taxes by 6.27% for the average homeowner.
