  • I can’t imagine it’s going to be any better. I’m not sure I even find US/Can doing enough as is.

    When we have a disease like bird flu roll through our herds, it seems like we just throw up our hands and say “oh well pasturing deactivates it”

    But you still have a sick cow, even if they aren’t obviously symptomatic. They will produce less, treatments for other stuff will be less effective, they will be less healthy. And at the scale of most farms, all that has an effect. It just gradually makes things harder for farmers.

    There’s a smother option but it takes 5ish years of leaving smothered.

    There’s the roundup spray option, which is probably the most effective currently? It’s critical you spray at the right time (after it flowers)

    I saw one option of repeatedly cutting it to eventually starve the plant of energy. I suspect there’s some specifics there about when it’s ok to cut though.
