Got some seed from for my canaries and thought about planting some in my garden but I don't want it to spread to the paddocks if it is poisonous to cattle.

Certified ExpertA.Johnson grass can be toxic to our livestock, but only under certain conditions. It produces a toxin, prussic acid, when it is under stress (such as drought, freezing weather). More information can be found here:

July 23, 2015Q.Burr Weeds and Johnson Grass
My yard is infested with burr weeds and Johnston grass weeds. I keep pulling them out, but it seems they come right back! The Johnston grass grows right at the edge of the chain link fence so it's hard to get the roots for fear of breaking the bottom line. How can I get rid of these two invaders once and for all? Thank you!
