As the days get warmer and livestock moves out to the fields to graze, it is important to make sure that your fields do not have poison hemlock. Poison hemlock is invasive, highly toxic, and on the rise in many states including Kansas and Oklahoma.

K-State Livestock Production Agent Wendie Powell says that since poison hemlock is toxic, that we need to know what it looks like.

Powell says that if we find poison hemlock in our pastures, there are ways to treat it.

For more information about poison hemlock, you contact Wendie Powell at the K-State Extension office in Altamont at 620-784-5337.
