This stuff is probably aggrevating a lot of trout fisherman.

It sure grows fast. Today I noticed areas where the local government mowed it in ditches a month ago, and the resprouts in many cases are knee high already.

Roadside ditches are full of it down here in southwestern Wisconsin. And there is no management plan that I'm aware of. Like stated earlier, it will require a victim to get the ball rolling on this issue.

Interesting, the DNR can hang lifejackets at boat landings for folks to borrow to keep from drowning, but we don't have signs posted to keep the uninformed out of the ditches.

Lesser version of the parsnip Queens Anne's lace can burn you too, just don't put out as much juice.. I was told that it's the juice actually causing a chemical burn which is photo reactive. In other words sunlight reacts with the juice and you get chemical burn on your skin. So it's not like a poison ivy deal where your body actually physically react to the oil from the plant..
I remember there was a big deal made about wild parsnip some years back.. Kinda like the purple loosestrife flash in the pan got quickly forgotten.... Maybe some them mountain biker kids riding the trails need to get into some for someone to get excited again.. Give bunch of them string trimmers to clear it out wearing shorts and flip flops.. Might loose a few but could use the old if it save one child thing on them..Be a big campaign get rid of it then I bet..

It really turned brown here starting ~couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure it has the potent effect on skin once it has gotten to that point of the year.

A farmer near town bailed his ditch. I was surprised. I read that cattle can probably handle it, but it's not necessarily advisable to let them them eat it in mass quantity. Maybe if a farmer doesn't give the bail to cattle for awhile, the wild parsnip loses its potency.

I've been actively eradicaticating the wild parsnip on mine and the neighbors property this month. Brush grade Roundup is what I use. I sure hate that invasive.

Don't get near it! Unless you are well prepared and have a sprayer with Roundup in your hand. Terrible stuff, and an extremely aggressive invader.

If ya spray or mow it, ya want to do it at the right time of year.

ive heard mowing doesnt get rid of it, either has to be pulled by the roots or sprayed. if you do get it on you just keep it covered and dont let the sunlight reach it and you shoud be ok. its the reaction with the sunlight that causes it to effect you

I am not seeing nearly as much of it this year. I think the county and townships got out and mowed at the correct time on the roads I have been on , I have also been on fewer roads this year.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Crews are trying to do a better job mowing at the right time. You gotta mow it b4 it goes to seed, but not so early that it grows back in the same year. I rely on brush grade roundup myself.

One of the biological management control items is to have cattle graze the plants off. I don't know if a ditch full is recommended but some of the control measures I was reviewing offered grazing as an option.

I think the grazing option is for early in the year. I've read that it can be detrimemtal to cattle health if they eat too much of it when it's mature, like in mid July.

Goats help buckthorn supposedly, maybe they eat parsnip

Now I seem to have giant hogweed on my ditchline. I think I took care of it today, but it'll be back because my neighbor does nothing to it. What do you think is worse: wild parsnip or giant hogweed?
