Invasive 'super weed' spreads through Iowa

Nothing to do with GMO, too long to paste it all.

Snippet:
Minnesota farm leaders are so concerned about the aggressive, prolific weed that they attacked it with blow torches last fall, seeking to destroy seeds that can reach up to 500,000 on each plant. The weed is in 30 fields, filter strips and plantings in two counties.

Using glyphosates won't help snippet:
And using glyphosate would kill more than Palmer amaranth in native prairie fields, planted with sunflower, coneflowers and other forbs that help feed monarch butterflies, bees and other pollinators whose populations are threatened by dramatically reduced forage.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away--Wows happen!!!
