In my area of Northeast Utah we have Russian knappweed and Russian Olive trees. The Russian Olives have destroyed tens of thousands of acres of good farmland. The olives are worthless for consumption. The trees are FULL of thorns that get into tractor tires and ruin them. They can also cause blood poisoning if you get poked deeply with the thorns. The government brought them in back in the 30's to serve as windbreaks. The government also brought in the Chinese Ringneck Pheasant to help spread the seeds. The pheasants are almost gone now thanks to the exploding raccoon population. When I was a kid we had lots of pheasants and no raccoons. I could count on seeing pheasants any place on the farm almost daily. It's been about 6 months now since I last saw a pheasant.
If you have any Russian Olive trees on your property destroy them before they destroy your farm. Pile them and burn them. Use a bulldozer to pile them. Kill the roots. Don't burn them in your woodstove. They smell like someone pissed on the stove.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
