Capital RC&D Weed Management Vlogs
In response to requests by graziers participating in Capital RC&D programs, Capital RC&D Grazing Advisor, Donna Foulk, developed a short vlog series about weed management basics. The vlogs focus on:
#1: Weed identification, why weeds are found in pastures, plant life cycles and how the cycle ties to management
#2: Weed management techniques including soil testing, proper rest and rotation, utilizing animal concentration areas (ACA), renovation, mowing, and herbicide use
#3: The importance of walking your pastures and shares a simple tool to help graziers evaluate the overall health of their pastures
