Why ragwort is a problem in Aberdare
On Aberdare properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Aberdare sits in the Cynon valley, where former coal tips and the River Cynon's disturbed banks carry knotweed down from the heads of the valleys to the Taff confluence at Abercynon.
