Drive Against Barberry Targets Rust Threat Across Upper Mississippi Valley
Federal and state agents plan a summer campaign in 13 grain states to locate and destroy common barberry host plants. The effort, involving 225 federal and 40 state workers, aims to cut stem rust losses, with farmers urged to guide crews to suspected bushes in yards, wastelands, and woodlots. Since 1918, eradication has removed over 14 million barberry shrubs across multiple states, reducing grain losses from 50.4 million to 15.5 million bushels in recent periods.
