Want Farmers To Go After Rats And Save Grain
Marion County farmers are urged to rid their farms of rats before winter. Experts say each rat destroys about six dollars worth of grain yearly, so pre-winter poisoning with red squill or other baits can protect saved grain. Pre-baiting helps locate rat nests and timing poisons, with care to keep livestock safe and remove uneaten bait.
