The article says adjacent farmers complain about noxious weeds on the 2000 acre (~3 square miles) farm. Noxious weed is a legal term describing weeds that are poisonous to livestock or humans, like tansy ragwort, st. john's wort, water hemlock, English yew, English laurel, English ivy, holly, and many more. Not to say they aren't beautiful creations, just that they are toxic. Many more are tremendously invasive to the point of destroying land for cultivation, pasturage, or retail, like the various knotweeds. If you had children or livestock around, you would want to eliminate them, including the very poisonous digitalis, or foxglove, and you certainly wouldn't want your little kids to eat sweet peas, let alone the seeds of beautiful lupines. All of these are God's creations, but didn't God put man in charge of it all?

Even for atheists, those are undesirable plants to have in your garden. It would be interesting to know which plants the neighbors object to. That's my only point.
