In this episode of the podcast, the second of a two-part series about managed grazing for weed control. In episode one I spoke with grazing expert Sarah Flack and retired BC Agrologist Greg Tegart about the principles of controlling weeds with managed grazing. In this episode, my conversations with three BC-based farmers about their successful management of three different invasive weeds: knapweed, Canada Thistle, and finally, adding a rare bit of mystery and intrigue on the Organic BC Podcast, an unidentified invasive grass.

Guests in this episode:

Julia Smith of Blue Sky Ranch on knapweed control

Joseph Moilliet of Aveley Ranch on control of Canada Thistle

Amber Rowse Robinson of Brass Bell Farm
