It shall be the duty of the owner, lessee or occupant of any lot or land to cut and remove, or to cause to be cut and removed, all such weeds, grass or other rank, poisonous or harmful vegetation as often as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of § 93.061 of this chapter; provided that, this section shall not apply to lands under cultivation or to lands where hay is harvested; although neither may the owners, lessees or occupants of such lands flagrantly violate the provisions of this subchapter.

Thereafter, the owner, lessee or occupant or any agent, servant, representative or employee of any such owner, lessee or occupant having control of any such land shall be deemed to be in compliance with this subchapter.
