It certainly is a pernicious problem where it gets a foothold-
the hay from my little field is used for horses, so it needs to
be ragwort-free. Despite sheep grazing it (which was the
traditional solution, I believe)
Sheep were used as they were slaughtered long before the liver dysfunction
became apparent
, two or three times a year, and
hand-roguing (?sp) when it's in flower for a number of years,
the benighted stuff still pops up.
As the old countrymans saying goes "one years seeds gives ten years weeds"
