Re: weeds

In Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas prairies, sericea lespedeza
(L. cuneata) is a growing menace, spreading at some sites almost like 
leafy spurge does elsewhere. Meanwhile MODOT purchased tons of seed 
of this noxious weed to revegetate roadsides after widening work, 
thus enlarging the acreage which serves as the primary source of 
invasion. It's enough make one long for the old tall fescue days.
