         The county boards of supervisors and the state department of
      transportation shall control noxious weeds growing on the roads under

      harvesting, in proper season, the grass grown on the road along the
      landowner's land except for vegetation maintained for highway
      purposes as part of an integrated roadside vegetation management plan
      which is consistent with the objectives in section 314.22.
