Excellent question.  I will look forward to the answer as well.

We have 14 acres and we both work.  Priorities must be set.  And in 10 years 
we'll be in our 60s and won't have the desire to battle fields of Canada 
thistle.

Could the experts take oneota@ames.net's list and put the weeds listed in 
order of priority of elimination?

Thanks,

Carmen
