I have located a low-land area in Central Iowa of
several acres that has reportedly never been plowed. On the one edge that
is slightly higher in elevation there are a few clumps of big bluestem
persisting in an area of mainly brome and presumably bluegrass. The bulk
of the area is over run with Reeds Canary Grass. Is there any chance any
prairie species can survive this total domination of both sun and ground
space? Or enough species to justify attempting to wage war on the
Canary Grass? I do not know how long the area has been infested but expect
it has been many years. I do not think anything has been done with this
area for at least 20 years.
