Ragwort

To anybody who keeps horse or cattle, ragwort is a curse. It can kill, although there are various people, who say that it is not as dangerous as we think. That is an interesting attitiude, but what happens if an expensive horse, cow or other animal is poisoned and dies?

So I just don’t like it.

They’ve even got lots of it in Holland.

But as it says on the DEFRA web site.

Over 90% of complaints that Defra receives about injurious weeds concern ragwort.

To me there is only one thing to do. Make sure it isn’t there! We all need something to hate occassionally and ragwort is a good place to start!
