Annual PSA that poison hemlock is starting to grow and it's the best time to hit it with some herbicide. It tries to creep into our pastures from the road side and neighbor, so we walk the edges of our property and spot treat whatever we see growing. It's one of the only vibrant green things right now so it's easy to spot among all the brown grass and brush. Nasty stuff that grows to be 8'+ tall, I prefer to get rid of it while it's small. Fortunately it's an easy plant to eradicate if you actually set your mind to removing it. I wish the neighboring farms around here would take it seriously but unfortunately I see huge swaths of it. If you see it, get rid of it!
