Medusahead rye as you are already aware is a fairly common species in many areas throughout eastern Oregon. In some areas BLM, County Weed Control Programs and Cooperative Weed Management Areas are implementing control projects where feasible.

I am passing this information along to Jesse Barns, Harney County Weed Control and to Bonnine Rasmussen, ODA Weed Specialist for SE OR.

Thank you for your submission: Tim Butler, ODA Noxious Weed Control Program
