Pasture forages provide the majority of the nutrients for Montgomery County beef cattle & other livestock. Due to weather conditions, winter feeding areas & in some cases over grazing, weeds such as Buttercup have become a major problem in many pastures. These weeds compete with & reduce the availability of our desired grazing forages. The Montgomery County Extension District Board purchased a special sprayer for the ANR Agent to make available to Montgomery County farmers to help combat pasture & hayfield weed problems. Over the last 2 year we have conducted a Buttercup Spray Program. 35 Farmers participated in this weed control demonstration program and sprayed 730 acres of pasture to control buttercup as well as poison hemlock and thistles.
