Why ragwort is a problem in Ystradgynlais
On Ystradgynlais properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Ystradgynlais sits at the upper end of the Swansea Valley, where former quarry, coal and tinplate land along the River Tawe gave knotweed a stronghold that recurs on disturbed banks toward the Brecon Beacons.
