Dow AgroSciences intends to save us from “Pushed together, the most notorious noxious and invasive plants, like spotted knapweed, Canada thistle, musk thistle, yellow starthistle and tropical soda apple, would cut a swath about 80 miles wide from Los Angeles to New York City. Assuming a modest 10 percent annual expansion rate under current control and management practices, the band will widen to nearly 130 miles by 2010. ” We just can’t have this so they invented Milestone.

Fortunately, new Milestone™ herbicide gives farmers, ranchers and land and resource managers an effective option to help reverse the spread of this environmental pollution. Milestone brings a new molecule – aminopyralid – to invasive weed management and offers a better option for increasing forage production on grazing lands and restoring native plant communities and wildlife habitats. “Aminopyralid is a revolutionary molecule that brings several advances to noxious and invasive weed control,” says Bob Gordon, Dow AgroSciences senior marketing specialist. “It provides unparalleled results on some of the toughest-to-manage broadleaf weed species threatening rangeland, pasture and wilderness areas today.”

So, if you see something like this now you know what to do about it. In fact, this is Bull Thistle and I think I have some of it in my front yard.

Get yourself some Milestone and put an end to this “environmental pollution.”
