Saskatchewan using goats for weed control
[]
Fort Frances Times
The town of Rocanville will be giving some goats a try in a bid to control weeds in parts of town where it’s hard to manage weeds.
“We are going to try and use them as an environmentally friendly weed control,” says Town Administrator Tanya Strandlund.
We are going to work with them and have the goats in there cleaning the trails up.
Goats are extremely drawn to invasive species and weeds first, and their digestive track does not allow the seeds to re-germinate, so they are good for weed control.”
She says the town may also try the goats around the retention pond as well and other spots around town like drainage ditches that are weed aggressive.
