Mowing Schedule 2025

All mowers will operate in a grid-style manner, similar to the graders, and a second cut will be performed when necessary.   

The tractor mower and grader mower will be starting July 28th, 2025, in Division 4, north of Highway 585, working their way South and East into Division 3. The grader will be focusing on the Dumore Ditches in the Rumsey area, then working into the Northern region of Divisions 4 and 5  

Tractor Mower #2 will be starting July 28th, 2025, in Division 5 north of Craigmyle 

All units will be working towards the middle of Divisions 4, 3 and 5, north of HWY 9. Once completed, both tractor mowers will begin moving south into Divisions 1 and 2 

Cutting grass along our County roads provides numerous benefits to the County and its ratepayers.

  • Provides snow storage in ditches
  • Reduces snow drifting across the road surface
  • Helps to dry the road out in the springtime
  • Improves visibility for wildlife
  • Controls brush and noxious weed growth

In Starland County, we cut and maintain approximately 1400 miles of ditch every year. Please give our crew members a friendly wave as you drive by.
