Canada Thistle Control Methods Include Plowing and Mulching
Canada thistle spreads slowly in parts of the state and inquiries about eradication rise at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station. The weed is classed as unlawful and is treated by shallow plowing, harrowing, and frequent cultivation all summer. Tar paper or thick straw may smother small areas, while salt spread around thistles with grazing livestock deters growth. Regular dragging after plowing exposes and removes roots, and hoeing to cut stray plants is advised in infested fields.

Shocked fodder silage boosts winter cattle feed
Dairy specialists at Town State College state shock fodder, though not best silage, offers higher feed value when ensiled than in the fodder stage. Ensure silage moisture by adding water equal to ton for ton, as dry fodder wastes leaves and cattle consume less. Silage provides better flavor and intake, saving substantial feed.
