    These are the most harmful weeds on the farm viz : Thistle, pirl, Dog daisy, Wild mint, Colt foot, Benweed, Nettles and there are a lot of others but I don't know their names. These weeds are a hinderance to the crop.
    Neetle broth is used to cure measles. Chicken weed is good for swellings. Dandelion can cure indigestion. The nettles and dickens are used for food for turkeys. It os chopped up fine and put in their food.
