“As the owner of Silverwood Stud, I’ve been battling gorse taking over our equine property in the Woodend area for years. AgriGuard came in with a tailored weed management program, and the results have been fantastic! Their team was professional, efficient, and really knew how to tackle the tricky spots. Our paddocks are finally looking healthy again. Highly recommend AgriGuard for any farm, no matter the size. Thank you, AgriGuard!”
