NOTICE--EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Due to a series of events at the international level many supply chains have been disrupted. Riley County is not immune to these supply issues and as such our chemicals we sell for cost share in the control of noxious weeds has been effected. We continue to do everything possible to minimize the impact however consumers should expect possible price increases or out of stock supply issues. 

As you plan this growing season plan accordingly and be patient as these matters get resolved and supply chains level back out.

We are currently stocked and will commence regular sales effective immediately. If you prefer to check availability please call 785-539-3202.

Thank you for the continue effort to control noxious weeds in Riley County and we look forward to seeing you this season.
