Mr. Jon Orr addressed the Board regarding the recent ditching done with the new ditch mower. Mr. Orr stated that he does not like the new ditcher and he kindly asked that we not use it on any of their property. Mr. Daniel Hodge asked Mr. Orr to explain further. Mr. Orr stated that first he felt it was the wrong time of year to be doing ditching because of erosion and sediment control, second he felt it threw dirt too far into his field creating dirt clods that could plug his machinery, and third he needed a group of boy scouts to come and clean up all of the trash that was thrown from the ditch. Mr. Blake Meier stated that we would just not dig in your ditches with it. Mr. Dave Compston asked if he was going to be given a map of where he should not use the ditcher.
