[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4042404, member: 5412"] What spreads them a lot is buying hay from others that don't give a crap what they bale. We never had a single thistle until 10 or so years ago. My driveway runs along where the neighbor put round bales to feed the cows. In that one little spot, a couple dozen musk thistle plants showed up. The next year after blooming, about 40 acres were infested and the year after with the rancher not doing a danged thing to control them, it exploded to hundreds of acres all up and down the river Neighbor finally had to go out there and spray as the plants can get 6' tall, and I threatened to turn him in as it's illegal to let them propagate. I'm getting ready to notify the county commissioner that they are in violation now as the road sides along our road are infested and getting ready to bloom. Oklahoma Noxious Weed Law Title 2.
