Wisconsin “Biggest Weed” winner

University of Wisconsin-Extension announcing the winners of the Biggest Weed contest at the recent Wisconsin Farm Technology Days.  The “grand champion” was a giant ragweed brought in by Wayne Greeler of Neillsville.  The plant stood over 10 feet tall and 7 feet wide.

Ken McGwin of Montello had a 12-foot ragweed but it only measured 4-feet wide.

The overall size of the plant is determined by multiplying the weed’s height by the maximum width when held in its normal growth form.

All daily winners will receive a weed identification book.
