Here in my county (central MI), the state highways get mowed twice a year, with the grass parts of the median fully mowed (some parts are woods). The outer part of the highway is usually mowed 2 passes wide, 24' the first time it is mowed, usually in late May or early June. The Second time it is mowed, usually mid to late August, it is mowed as close to the right of way fence as they can get, where there isn't woods. But, the state specifies when and how much to mow, based on their budget. It always gets at least 2 passes inside and outside, but some years nothing more than that. Paved county roads are mowed twice a year, 1 pass early in summmer, and 2 passes in late summer, at which time all of the gravel roads receive 1 pass as well. I have found that if you mow it tight to the ground on flat land, and do a nice job, usually whoever has a house right there will mow a little bit more every year, keeping things cleaner year round. It also makes it nicer in the winter when we cut trees, that you aren't wading around in waist deep grass in and out of the ditch.

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
