Kudzu is edible and can be used as a food source for cattle Who would of thought? Thought guy uqd fflipped his cookie pitchit it across his fence feeding his cattle.

Maybe you found new business potential. Doesn't that stuff grow huge like over night. Maybe need get you one them machines punches it into pellets. Start whole new market.

Is that the little green guy from the Flintstones? I know nothing about raising cows, lol.

That's why it was imported here in the first place....

Col. Sanders as you called him made jelly out of the blooms, tasted like plum jelly. Goats and everything else love that stuff so no surprise cattle will eat it too.

I see they are doing studies on it now and roots are being sold as well

Ill eat the beef after they eat thw kudzu and then corn

Yep if I remember right it really took off and became a problem when people stopped having as many animals

Almost impossible to eradicate 100’ tap root and can grow more than 3’ a day in prime conditions.

Sounds good, get me some of that for my sandy pastures.

You don't want it. Just trust me on that one

Very high protein in leaves and vine tips.

Some of the biggest deer killed in Georgia every season comes from Atlanta area suburbs and they grow large foraging all summer on the kudzo up there.

You guys say that about all sorts of cool stuff like wild pigs and iguanas. Best we get is buckthorn and Somalians, ide make that trade, dang good trade.

I looked it up since I had no clue what it was and it said zone 5 and up. I don't think it will make, it here since I will hit -18 tonight. And since you are the next state east I don't think it will grow there.

We got nine month growing seasons down here. Now imagine vines that can grow three foot per day for 270 days.

And kudzu ain't the only vine or plant we contend with. Wisteria, english ivy, privet, bradford pear, running bamboo, are all weeds that I have to keep beat off my small half acre. Heck, even our "beloved" crepe myrtles are a pest in my book.

New ones we're seeing are mohonia, nandina, eleagnus, paulowinia, tree of heaven, and we've had chinaberry forever.
