You want to manage an annual native browse planet and sue/fine land owners that don’t apply massive amounts of herbicides in the spring possibly killing the other native plants?
What root system and browse do you propose to replace them with?
I’m not a huge fan of tumbler weeds in the winter but no benefits to ridding land scape out side of fence maintenance
Tumbleweeds aka Russian thistle is not a native plant. I have never seen them get super bad in pastures that have native growth. Where they become a huge problem is on plowed ground that is abandoned with no cover crop. They take it over. You can kill them with herbicide, shred them before they get big and blow away, plant something else so they don't take over - lots of options. Being from the metroplex I am guessing you don't fully grasp this. I have lived in this area over 30 years and see it on a daily basis.

I stand corrected on being native, I own and operate 26 sections north of Dumas, I grew up on 100 sections, we also owned feedlot and grain elevator… No way I’m shredding any of my range land or doing aerial spraying pasture/fence lines for tumble weeds, A) tear up a shredder B) not economically feasible as far as ROI. Try again I’m 5th generation rancher/farm operator…

Especially since I still remember hearing stories about family eating them during dust bowl. We are in the heart of the dust bowl

We sprayed 270 acres a few years back that knocked them back.

Lived in this area 30 years and doesn’t understand the agronomics of farming it either.

Tumbleweeds are an invasive species. So are fire ants. I should not have to spend thousands of dollars eradicating my ranch of fire ants because they will spread to other places. I never wanted them either.

I will say again though my issue is not with native range or pastures. It is with plowed fields that are let to go to solid tumbleweeds.

I will say again though my issue is not with native range or pastures. It is with plowed fields that are let to go to solid tumbleweeds. Well in your defense, I would have lost badly if I bet on them being native. I’ve never looked at them other than just part of a slight winter annoyance, and really more annoying when I’m Pheasant hunting, as is grow/collect around backwater irrigation pits, grain silo, pens and fence lines, and bird like the cover, especially when it snows. Deer/ & Cattle will eat them also until they mature. If I’m resting a dry land or irrigated field, I’m usually trying to rest from herbicide also. From my perspective, they are gone by time we go to prep early spring, if I’m planting fall they will be gone with one pass of the disc. In mean time they are holding soil and not a huge moisture wick. But they are fire liability around structures
