16 Nov 2011On the eve of the summer grains planting season, farmers have been asked to report breeding and roosting sites of red-billed queleas to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) so that the flocks can be controlled.
The onus rests on farmers and landowners to report these sites, Agri Northern Cape exco member Hoffie Joubert pointed out. “They are required by law to report the spots and I call on them to do so. We need to control the impact of queleas as a matter of urgency,” he said.
