The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service will conduct a range and brush management program beginning at 4p.m. on Thursday July 7th at the Brown County Fairgrounds, 4206 U.S. Highway 377 South in Brownwood, Texas.
It has been a really wet spring so most pastures are covered in weeds, many of which are toxic to livestock. Unwanted brush species continue to encroach and take over good grazing land. Some of leading specialists in the state will be making presentations. So those who have questions concerning weeds, brush control, cattle insect pest management, or aquatic weed control in thier farm pond won’t want to miss this opportunity.
Topics and speakers include:
Toxic Weeds, Dr. Robert Lyons, AgriLife Extension Range Specialist, Uvalde, Texas
Controlling Weeds in Farm Ponds, Peter Woods, AgriLife Extension Program Specialist, Bay City, Texas
Weed and Brush Herbicides, Ralph Porter, Dow AgroSciences, Abilene, Texas
Mistakes with Range Herbicides, Dr. Morgan Russell, AgriLife Extension Specialist, San Angelo, Texas
