You must become your own weed inspector


There was a time when townships took care of roadside weeds, but no more. Now you must 
do the job yourself and it pays to start when they first appear on your farm

The Ontario government has set up a committee to look at invasive weed species and you might think this would help you reduce the number of problem weeds on your farms. It probably won’t. It is intended more to look at weeds like giant hogweed and poison ivy  that are threatening townspeople since the introduction of legislation to reduce herbicides in urban areas.
