Today is the last day of our harvesting season. The harvester will be removed from the lake on Monday 8/31/26. The water level is extremely low so getting it out could be a challenge. There have been many problems this past year. Low water, curly leaf pondweed, no snow cover, weeds that grew at incredible speed, three weeks of waiting for the new machine to arrive and no rain. The lake was a mess. Our crew worked very hard this season they removed over 250 loads of weeds. They worked in wind and smoke filled days without complaint. I am thankful for Kent, Greg & John. They gave it their all! Not everyone was happy with the decisions that were made. The DNR recommended concentrating on the curly leaf pondweed areas to get them under control. This decision left the rest of the lake pretty much untouched for many weeks. As the season unfolded the crew was able to move to other areas and try to play catch up. As you know it was a huge undertaking. I asked for your understanding and patience as we battled weeds like never before. On our most recent pontoon ride it is once again looking good for the most part. I know there are still areas that need more attention but our permit is expiring and we are not allow to continue harvesting.We learned many things this season.1. You can never go up against Mother Nature and come out on top.2. Trying to please all 540 lakeshore owners all at once is not possible.3. Make a plan, stick to it and grow thick skin.4. Hope that next year is a better year!Thank you for supporting the LMA. We are a group of volunteers that serve to maintain the health and beauty of the lake we all love. I invite you to join us. Our next meeting is September 12, 20269 am at Bann’s. … See MoreSee Less
