Officials Clearing Wild Weed Crop in West Virginia Panhandle

The plan uses 2 4 D chemical spraying this year with further mowing later, supported by a $30 000 appropriation this year and the same next year, aiming to wipe out about 1000 acres this season. Private farms largely host the growth, and authorities say the effort could finish in five years if funding holds.
