This in the comment section of Western Seducer:

"T leduc area • 3 days ago
Devils trumpet is sold locally in Alberta as " Datura " in many bedding plant garden centers. We have had the plant for over 10 years by the side of the house. We have noticed 1 six foot plant in the field while swathing ( canola ) and 1 more in the back of our yard. Assuming birds have moved the seed. The reporter did a very good job of scaring farmers, rather than presenting facts and research. Yes, we will get rid of the plants, we all understand if there are hundreds of seeds per pod that there can be an infestation if the plant continues to grow ! Scare and blame, good tabloid article."

None in any of our fields of 135LL!

Willy,

"Brand new Clean land has been around for... how long?

No animals or wildlife ever were on that land?

You can't be serious...

You bet Tom...deadly serious. Cleavers were unknown in this area at that time and I never saw cleavers until they showed up in my canola field.

That batch of seed if I'm not mistaken came from Sweden.
