[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1393909, member: 25776"] I looked it up. What I have is common chicory: [img]http://i63.tinypic.com/a9lrwp.jpg[/img] It is the same species used in the steer study. I also found a reference under the species name, [b]Cichorium intybus[/b], in Wikipedia that states the following: ....[b]woody, perennial herbaceous plant of the dandelion family Asteraceae, usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink. Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive. It is also grown as a forage crop for livestock.[/b] I had no idea that it was grown as a forage crop. I thought it was a weed. You are not that far from Maysville. What you have is probably the same species we have. [/QUOTE]
