Fassett’s Locoweed can be found in only three counties in Wisconsin. The extremely rare and fussy plant prefers to grow along lakeshores where it is highly susceptible to water levels. In high water years it drowns, in drought years it dies out. No wonder the DNR and students from UW-Whitewater have teamed up to try to reintroduce this plant that’s a stem away from extinction. More

And I thought that marijuana was the real loco weed.
Meanwhile, kill all the babies we can.
I thought DNR was what they stamped all over John McCain’s paperwork every time he went into the hospital.
Wow! NPR article, and not a word about global warming or Donald Trump being the cause.
If you plant these weeds in locations other than where they occur naturally then you have introduced an invasive species.
Imagine being the person owning property on a lake where they introduce this endangered, threatened species. They better be reintroducing it on government land.
Blow me. We were giving away cattle last year because of drought. This year over a million cattle have been drowned in floods.
Look forward to the price of your beef skyrocketing this year.
I don’t give a tinker’s cuss about your useless plant.
Heretics! Working against Darwinian natural selection! It’s like they don’t believe in anything anymore.
