I realize we had a length discussion on this topic a while ago but I don't 
think this
aspect was covered.

A friend of mine is looking for ways to control/reduce the large Canada 
thistle crop
on his pasture land. It is cattle/horse grazing land in the Cariboo area of 
central
British Columbia, Canada. Despite its name, this thistle is not native to 
Canada and
is in fact classified as  a "noxious weed." There are large areas with high
percentages of thistle and the only economically-viable way he has come up 
with is to
cut them down with a tractor-pulled mower, a method which apparently has a low
success rate.

If you need more information in order to make a suggestion, please let me 
know.
