Mark Twain National Forest Turns To Goats To Manage Invasive Plants

[in2herbs]

3. At the beginning of summer the town where I live had 2 major fires two weeks apart, primarily fed

by globe chamomile, aka stinknet. Thousands of acres where the desert once existed now gone. Myself and a few neighbors looked into hiring goats to eat the stinknet but our research concluded that even goats won't eat it. I did notice, however, that when it dies the horses ate it, so maybe goats will eat dead stinknet, too. Maybe there's a job opportunity for a landscaper with goats?? All I know is that there is far too much stinknet in my town to control by spraying.
