County Agent Notes on Thistle Eradication Methods
About thirty Bur ton bench farmers heard A J Ogaard discuss Canadian thistle control at Farmington. He outlined nine methods with summer fallow as key, stressing root starvation and careful cultivation after plowing to exhaust roots. He discouraged chemical spraying as costly and ineffective for root systems, recommending weeders to cut new growth. A committee of eleven was formed to map thistle locations across about four townships and contact non resident landowners for cooperation. Farm papers and turkey management bulletins were made available at the county agent’s office.
