Editor,
I live in Valley View and would like to very much thank the farmers who have been tilling and working the land in Valley View. Such a wonderful sight to drive down into Valley View and see some of the land that hasn’t been worked for over 30 years being tilled and planted. To see all the fields that have been worked instead of fields of weeds. Lake County has turned into the Capital of White Top and Mustard. This neighbor won’t spray because that neighbor won’t spray. Hay from another area full of white top and mustard taken to another area and fed to animals. So the white top and mustard keep spreading and no one can get a handle on it. Someone needs to come up with a product that landowners can afford, it is too expensive to keep spraying if no else is going to spray. So many fields, yards and ditches full of white top and mustard, also in town. We try to keep up with it in our field, but our land is small compared to acre after acre of land some people have. All the beautiful land tilled and planted hopefully will stay free of all the noxious weeds we have but doubtful, I know everything can’t be weed free, it is just the white top and mustard is so bad.
