Coming off of a long winter and a late start to spring the beginning of the harvesting season is going to start a couple weeks later than usual this year. With Lake Minnetonka still being relatively cold, lake weeds haven't had a chance to begin their summer growth. Even the invasive species like Eurasian Milfoil have yet to reach the surface in a majority of the lake. Although this is nice for now, as Lake Minnetonka gets warmer and the days get longer, the invasive species and all species of lake weed will begin to grow just as rapidly as they have in the past.
But don't worry too much! With our new mechanical harvesters and increased capacity, we are more prepared than ever to fight back against the invasive species overgrowth.
