   The most harmful weeds on our farm are scutch grass, bohaláns and crowfoot They are very harmful because they spread rapidly and destroy the land. If crowfoot and scutch grass start growing where the crops are growing they will smother the crops so that they wont grow atall. Kumbhrey & nettles are cut up for feeding pigs.

Some of the weeds are given to Pigs.
