That article is almost a year old, I wonder where this ended up last year?
Looks like it got passed "In response to these concerns, Oklahoma is bringing new legislation that will assist in eradicating Eastern red cedars from the Oklahoma North Canadian Watershed and hopefully slow the spread of red cedars across the state. House Bill 2239, also known as the Terry Peach North Canadian Watershed Restoration Act, was signed into law on Oct. 27. It was named after former Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Terry Peach, who died last year." of course it is of limited scope, hopefully they will expand it.

But they all serve no purpose and suck tons of water out of the ground and spread like a weed
Some spread easily like the ERC that is an invasive species. There has been cedar trees on our places used as windbreaks planted by Great Grandpa that have never spread. What variety they are, is unknown by me anyway, but they certainly are not ERC.
The only issue we ever had as well as most of the rest of Oklahoma is when the ERC took over.
