On March 9, 2026, the Montana Department of Agriculture will convene the Noxious Weed Management Advisory Council at the Delta Hotel in Helena, Montana. The council is scheduled to review applications for the 2026 Noxious Weed Trust Fund grants through hearings from March 10 to March 12, with funding deliberations set for March 12 at 2:00 P.M. Meetings will be held in person and online via Zoom.
The event is significant as agriculture stands as Montana’s leading industry, according to the official website. The department works to serve Montana agriculture and foster prosperity. The Noxious Weed Trust Fund Grant Program was established by the state legislature in 1985 to support research projects, education initiatives, and local cooperatives focused on noxious weed management.
Jillien Streit directs the Montana Department of Agriculture, according to the official website. The department operates to advance agriculture within Montana and offers programs including financial assistance, marketing support, and grain inspections. The Montana State Grain Laboratory serves as the state’s only federally designated official service for grain and commodity inspections.
An agenda for the upcoming meetings is available on the department’s website. Those interested in joining virtually are encouraged to contact Greta Dige, Noxious Weed Trust Fund Coordinator. More information about public meeting notices and department programs can be found at agr.mt.gov.
