[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1806270, member: 32879"] Some of our worst invasive species, Osage Orange, Multi-Flora Rose, and Autumn Olive, were once promoted by the soil conservation and extension service as living fences or wildlife habitat. Autumn Olive got a start on my farm from a package of seedlings I set out on rough ground above a pond in 1978. Canadian thistles or nodding thistles were the scourge of the more fertile pastures for 30 years but now are about gone. Musk thistles are still around but no real problem. The real problem now is the yellow buttercup that blooms in April and May. In early May pastures around here turn bright yellow for as far as the eye can see. Ten years ago I had never seen this plant at all. My wife works at the local soil conservation district and they rent spray rigs and help pay for 24-D to combat this weed. It is hard to eliminate on pastures that get a lot of traffic in wet winter conditions. I wish spraying was an option on some of my steeper pastures, fertile siltstone soil prone to slipping in wet weather. I do not know of a spray rig that could stat upright on most of them. [/QUOTE]
