Control of Russian thistle spreads in dry land fields
Montana farmers face a growing pest as Russian thistle invades dry land farms. It deprives crops of water and nutrients, complicates handling, and spreads by wind. Eradication relies on good cultivation, mowing and burning before seeding, pasture with sheep, or crop rotation with strong growing plants like millet or alfalfa. In irrigated land it is less troublesome, but rotation remains key.
