Barberry Eradication Shows Strong Results In SD
BROOKINGS March 28. Since the barberry eradication program began in South Dakota more than 223000 rust spreading bushes have been found and destroyed on over 1300 farms and city properties. Across 12 states more than 18 million barberries have been removed. USDA data show annual wheat losses declining from over 50 million bushels (1915-1920) to under 16 million (1921-1928) after eradication efforts began. Bulger notes continued progress will take years and full elimination across all states remains uncertain.
