Hello Bill,
Just returned from Muncie, IN over the weekend. The northern fields are
filled with Senecio. Because of all the rain and cool temps the plants are
thriving this season. they are particular fond of cool damp weather which
northern Indiana has had an abundance of this spring. Also farmers can not
get into the fields to burn down the weeds or plow. So we get to see things
that one would not normally see this late in the ag season.
