Check out this NY Times Article....
Farmers killed all the good microbes in the ground with their chemical fertilzers, stripped the ground of nutrients, polluted water systems all to escape the weeds, but as anyone remotely educated in the principles of Ecology knows...nature is the Queen Bee of adaptation and has a stronger will to survive than we often give her credit for.
Revenge of the weeds! "Pigweed can grow three inches a day and reach seven feet or more, choking out crops; it is so sturdy that it can damage harvesting equipment"
