Welcome back to the War Against Weeds Podcast! This week we are joined by guests Kevin Bradley (University of Missouri) and Dwight Lingenfelter (Penn State University) to discuss weed management in pasture systems. They cover the different weeds found in pastures, non-chemical methods, and the importance of fertility.
