Combat problem plants


On Friday we did our assessments on combat problem plants. We sprayed ink berry with roundup. Ink berry is a toxic plant and especially dangerous to cows in the winter. Roundup is a herbicide. We put colorant in so we can see where we already sprayed. We also cut the ink berry and dabbed the stems with the roundup. After a while we'll do a check up and see which method was the most effective. When you work with something that is toxic like roundup you need to wear protective gear, like gloves, goggles and a mask.
