BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Field days have been scheduled at four North Dakota sites next week for the collection and redistribution of flea beetles that eat leafy spurge.
Leafy spurge is one of North Dakota's most problematic weeds. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says people interested in getting flea beetles to release on their own property can collect them from established populations at the field day sites.
The field days are Tuesday in Billings County, Wednesday in Grant County, Thursday in Billings County and Friday in Stutsman County. They're sponsored by the state Agriculture Department and the county weed boards.
