…or just regulate them to death?

Hard to imagine anything more important the Federal Government could be doing than controlling noxious plants

    Please send some help my way. I’ve yet to successfully eliminate the Vinca Major from my side yard bed in 3 years of trying.

    Seriously though, what about Kudzu? 2 million acres infested and hundreds of millions of dollars lost in crop revenue and spent on control end eradication yearly. Seems like a significant issue to me… but then i’m a lib, so what govt program don’t i like, right?

    Now if they could just get cellulosic ethanol efficienty from the stuff…

    Yeah, that’s right Jeremy. The farmers can’t control the plants, so the government should reward them for their failure! Good plan!
