I just hope they don’t use the same researchers from Mississippi State who came up with the idea to help control kudzu.

The state was searching for a non-chemical way of keeping the kudzu from overtaking the highway right-of-way. Researchers at MSU found that rye grass would prevent kudzu from growing so all the highway rights-of-way were planted with rye grass.

The problem with that plan is that it did not take into account that rye grass is also a primary food source for deer in the state of Mississippi. Gee, wonder if that is part of the reason for the astronomical increase in “deer-human encounters.”
