Project Chronology: 2003 Highlights
Barges were placed in Nett Lake in June, 2003, after construction of a suitable landing area.
Barges were in daily operation for two (2) months.
Barges were removed from Nett Lake prior to rice harvesting in September.
Perennial vegetation covering a total of 15 surface area acres were harvested during this time.
Plant material was deposited near shore in cutting areas to decompose.
Areas cut first showed rapid and heavy re-growth by wild rice.
