Buckthorn: There is Light at the End of the Tunnel

As one of the most aggressive and invasive plants threatening Minnesota, buckthorn is a major problem in urban and rural forest alike. Managing a buckthorn infestation can make many go from pulling plants to pulling out their own hair, as the plant appears never stops growing and popping up in new places. However, Mike Schuster and Lee Frelich, buckthorn experts, join this episode of the podcast to make the seemingly impossible, possible. Listen in to learn tips and tricks for successfully managing buckthorn, get details on the Cover It Up! Project, and find out where to start to manage buckthorn on your property.  Smarty Plants is a podcast of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Consumer Protections on the Smallest Scale

Sitting down with a big bowl of salad or admiring the beauty of our plants, it isn't always in the forefront of our minds where those things came from, a tiny little seed. Lucky for us it is a priority for MDA staff members that work in our seed unit.  Michael Merriman and Shane Blair from the MDA seed team join us today to describe the in-depth work that goes into seed sale in Minnesota and everything that is done to keep customers safe. Michael also recalls a seed conundrum of 2020 when thousands of people were receiving unsolicited mystery seed in the mail.  Smarty Plants is a podcast of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
