The problem is the further west you go and the higher the elevation, arable land gives way to federal and state open range - 100,000's of square miles of it and that is where cheat has become the dominate ground cover. It's fair wildlife forage briefly in the spring. After that it becomes an explosive fire hazard taking new ground every time by burning out native plants along its boarder. As cheat moves up slope in the mountains, the narrow band of forage available for deer and elk in the winter becomes occupied by cheat. Their flat land forage was lost to cheat along time ago. There is no forage for cattle either but they can winter on valley ranches, at expense to the rancher but the deer and elk are left with very slim pickings. As cheat advances upslope it chokes out the smallest of tree seedlings and burns out the older reproduction. The wall-of-flame western range fires that make national news every summer and fall are all cheat.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
