A variety of moisture conditions can increase undesirable weeds and grasses in our pastures from more than normal moisture to dry conditions with enough sporadic rain to set off weeds. If cattle won’t graze these plants, it is a problem.
K-State Research and Extension Golden Prairie District and Rawlins County will host a Weed Control on Native Pastures program on November 29th, at the American Legion in Bird City and November 30th at Western Cooperative Electric in WaKeeney. Both programs begin with a meal at 6pm and conclude around 9 pm.
Keith Harmoney, rangeland scientist with the KSU Agricultural Research Center in Hays will share his experience on weed control in pastures and Drew Rickets, wildlife specialist will talk about predator control around cattle operations.
