Good or bad depends on point of view. A number of years ago hunting someplace west into South Dakota my dog ran about 30 yards into a stubble field and froze. The wheat had been harvested earlier. Puzzled by why the dog refused to move I walked out to him. The wheat stubble was solid sandburs. His feet were filled with the stickers from sandburs and it was too painful to move. I carried him back to the truck to remove the stickers.
Today's task was pulling sandbur plants from the corn fields. The plants have reached a maturity that the burs, which are seeeds, might be viable if left in the field. A leaf bag full of sandbur plants are either a good thing or maybe bad. It's good that the plants were eliminated it's bad that there were so many. One more task to keep me off the street.
Sandbur seed pods...very sharp!
Takk for alt,
