ABSTRACT:
Plants adapted to sunny, open habitats in Vermont have different origins, times of arrival, ecological positions and human associations. Weeds had usses during the self-sufficiency phase of early settlement. After 1860, commercial farming orientation, infestations of newly arrived adventives, and activities of state agronomic institutions led to changed policies and intensive weed control. since 1960, the contraction of agricultural landuse and the rise of alternative ideas have brought a reevaluation of these peregrinating plants. Weeds are signifiers of a rural society whose preoccupations have changed from preindustrial to postmodern values.
