Why ragwort is a problem in Rotherham
On Rotherham properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Rotherham's heavy steel industry along the River Don and River Rother left extensive slag heaps and disturbed riverbanks, providing ideal conditions for Japanese knotweed to establish along the Chesterfield Canal and old works sites.
