Monsanto manufactures FUD about seed ownership: Farmer Bowman could win back natural seed rights
Monsanto is always hiding behind something, starving children (while selling their parents crops that fail all at once), the Great God Efficiency, or now, medical research. Will Clarence Thomas recuse himself this time on this Supreme Court seed patent, Bowman... Continue reading

Oh, hi Barbara. Sorry I took so long responding; I was hoeing dog fennel out
from under the electric fence.
I thought you liked Picasso? Why would you believe two days was enough for it to be safe for him? The instructions for CRP planting of longleaf pine say wait at least a year after any cotton or corn with pesticides have been planted, and the main pesticide used on those is Roundup.
As you say, mowing will knock dog fennels back. That's the first thing I do on a larger area. To get rid of them, we harrow and plant rye over the winter.
For small areas, we pull them up, which is easy when it's very dry (as it has been a lot lately) or very wet (like right after the tornado rain). Or when that doesn't work, a hoe or shovel does.

How to end the epidemic of incarceration
There are historical reasons for why we lock up so many people, some going back a century or more, and some starting in 1980 and 2001. Knowing what they are (and what they are not) lets us see what we can do to end the epidemic of incarceration that is damaging education and agriculture in Georgi...
Really? I could argue UFOs with just as much validity as you've ever provided for your version of Agenda 21.
Meanwhile, the real U.N. is promoting organic agriculture, not draconian raids:

Our dogs have taken on a beaver, a raccoon, and several rattlesnakes.
They won all those. (Beaver is tasty, by the way.)
Then they tried a nest of cottonmouth moccassins. Not so happy; the dogs
got all swole up and sad looking. Significant vet bill.
This year one of them tried a copperhead. Same result.
And the other one tried a rattlesnake and lost. Same result.
Finally they seem to have learned to alert us but don't attack snakes.
Good result!
