X 2000........Ragweed.
If ragweed is decent browse for deer and quail, and, I assume turkey, any reason not to leave it alone?

Same with the wild "ditch weed" here!My brother and I used to build some AWESOME forts in ragweed when we were kids. That stuff would get 7 feet tall and you could hide a truck in it. LOL
The 1st year I had an E fence I planted beans. The ragweed sprung up and was about 40% of the plot, but the beans were healthy, too. When I took the fence down, the deer didn't touch the beans until they ate most of the ragweed. My deer love it.
Makes me wonder why deer have different food preferences in different areas. Maybe from mothers teaching their fawns what to eat over several generations.
