Kudzu is a vine that can grow up to
3 feet in a day. Seems someone thought it was a good idea to bring it over here to prevent soil erosion, provide high protein food for cattle, and for decoration and shade. I have grown it myself in a pot indoors just to measure how fast it grows. Not sure how that relates to switch grass... are they trying to use it for ethanol now? It would be easy to cultivate for sure.
