Rental Department                                                                                   

Cost-shared spraying equipment is a service the Crawford County Weed Department provides. Crawford County has rented 300 gallon pasture sprayers for many years. The unit applies 20 gallons of water per acre and is rugged enough to withstand the rough terrain that noxious weeds normally inhabit. It has been a wonderful program for those landowners that have too much property to spray by hand, but not enough to warrant purchasing their own sprayer.

Rules
Crawford County rental sprayers are subsidized by county noxious weed funds for the  purpose of controlling noxious weeds. Operators are asked to pay a nominal fee for the use of the sprayers. The following rules must be observed:

1. Operate equipment safely and follow label and application rules. Ask questions if needed.
2. Return the equipment as soon as you are done with it. Other landowners are waiting.
3. Be responsible for all damages to the equipment during your use. Please call if the sprayer has a flat tire, we have spares.
4. Clean the outside of the sprayer before returning.                                                 
5. Use only approved herbicides and return sprayers empty. Dispose of rinse water properly  
6. Do not adjust spray pressure regulators.
7. Keep road transport speed below 25 mph
8. Daily rate is $50.00. The rate for sprayers rented Friday and returned Monday before 9:00 am will be $75.00. Daily rate charges will not be assessed on windy or rainy (no spray) days. These no-spray days are assigned by the warehouse manager, if needed, by 2:00 pm each day.
