Forage and Gravel



NCCIA is one of the official Noxious Weed-Free Forage and Mulch Certification Agencies for the state of North Carolina. The purpose of certified weed free forage is to prevent the spread of noxious weeds by creating a set of standards that must be met. NCCIA adheres to the standards developed by National Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA). For more information regarding weed-free forage, visit the NAISMA website. NAISMA standards are the minimum requirement, and each state is subject to adding standards they feel are necessary. A copy of the NCCIA Weed-Free Forage and Gravel Standards can be found under the Standard Documents tab on our website.
