Eurobodalla Council is helping farmers tackle agricultural weeds following the bushfires and drought. The Council is offering on-farm control of high-risk weeds such as blackberry, bitou bush, African lovegrass and lantana and other problematic weeds, thanks to funding from the Australian Government. Primary producer Keith Dance recently took advantage of the program to help with blackberry control on his Belowra farm. He said it gave him one less thing to worry about while he worked to restore his property post-fires. “After the fires we had priorities everywhere else – blackberries were just one of those things in the too hard basket,” he said.
