Musk Thistle Weevil Roundup
This week on the podcast, I interview several people who are involved in the Alfalfa County Musk Thistle Weevil Roundup. Musk thistles were labeled a noxious weed in Oklahoma in 1994 and since then producers are doing their best to control this weed. Lucky for us, there are several tiny weevil species that love the musk thistle flowers and if given time, can do a really good job at controlling a musk thistle population. Tune in for more insight on the roundup!
