On February 7, 1984, the Sully County Commissioners held a hearing to establish a Sully County Weed and Pest Board, appointing the following first board members: Brett Barber, Elmer Mosiman, Melvin Johnson, Milt Burgeson and Jerome Yackley. Sully County’s first weed & pest grant was received in 1996 for $5114.75 to expand the weed program and to spray noxious weeds. Since then, Sully County has received a grant every year. In 2007, the Weed & Pest Board was awarded a $5000.00 specialty grant (a new or innovative idea) on controlling noxious weeds to produce and distribute a CD “infomercial” called “Noxious Weed Guide for subdivisions in Sully County – A guide for new land owners in South Dakota”. It will be sent to all new land owners in Sully County to educate them on noxious weeds: how to identify, locate, and treat them. In addition, a maintence grant of $200.00 was issued to update and purchase new equipment.
