If this survey discloses certain land in the county to be blowing
repeatedly, the board of county commissioners shall consider what measures
of a permanent nature can be taken to prevent or minimize the blowing of
the soil, any plant or weed thereon. For this purpose the board may
conduct a hearing, after having
given notice to the landowner of the time and place of such hearing, which
notice may be given by registered mail. At such hearing testimony of those
who have had experience or made a study of types of soil, types of plants
or weeds, erosion of soil
by wind, means of preventing the same, and studies or reports of
governmental departments or other investigators of the subject may be
considered. Respecting the land concerning which such a hearing has been
had the board of county commissioners is authorized to determine what
treatment of the land is necessary to prevent its blowing, whether it shall
be planted to annual, biennial or perennial grasses, shrubs, trees or
if cultivated, the manner and times of year of such cultivation, and may
order that the land be treated in accordance with this conclusion, and if
such orders are not complied with by the owner of the land the board of
county commissioners may do or have done the planting or cultivation
ordered.
