| Impact Report | Noxious Weed and Poisonous Plant Management Plant identification and management is important in forage production and land value in Sierra County. The more desirable plants that local pastures and rangeland have the more the land is worth. In the past few years ranchers and citizens of Sierra County have had difficult with encroaching poisonous plants and noxious weeds with some range conditions exceeding 40% encroachment. In an effort to educate county clientele on management and identification the agent along with the County Noxious Weed coordinator presented a workshop on “Noxious Weed and Poisonous Plant Management in Sierra County”. Other speakers were the Veterinarian specialist and the Brush and Weed Control specialist from New Mexico State University. Fifteen farmers, ranchers, transportation department, and interested citizens attended the workshop. 95% of those who attended were satisfied with the program and all agreed that they gained knowledge on the topics that were presented. Comments were “good presentation” and “would like to see more programs like this one”. |
