Goldenrod

Thanks to everyone for all the advise on honeysukle and the dreaded kudzu.  

To futher the discussion about notious plants in the prairie, I am
wondering about all the golden rod that I have popping up all over the
place.  I live in East Central Illinois and have about 4 acres in prairie
grasses with some forbs and about another 3 acres that was farmed and then
put into brome and alfalfa.  Both of these areas have been burned for three
years but not last year. I have another 10 acres, that has little trees on
it and has never been burned.

I am seeing so much goldenrod.  Will this pass as  did the giant ragweed
and foxtail? Or, do I need to be doing something about it?  I actually like
the look of it. It seeems great for the the insects and butterflies. (Has
great galls for dried flower arrangements).

We are planning on burning some this March...wondering if I should be
planning to do something about all the golden rod?

Thanks for the free advice.....Joan
