Roxanne,
I can tell you that a gone-to-weed hay field around here will have
LOTS of milkweed. Our hay mowers found their one-year old John Deer
tractor running hot - the cause was a milkweed fluff blanket over the
front of the radiator. Once discovered, an occasional swipe with the
hand kept it free.
We still have plenty of milkweed standing, so if you want some.. c'mon
over!
