How much is it going to cost me? That is the
question?
Its just a matter of a zero or two!

• Cost Variables for a Control Program
• Invasive plant intensity (Level 1 5)
• Area size (acreage)
• Hydrology (presence of water, wells, seeps, etc.
• Topography (Coastal Plain vs. Pittsburgh slag
  mountains)
• Plant type (Operator sophistication)
• Chemical type
• Season (Hey we just found some end-of-the-year
  money.)
• Maintenance program
