Invasive Species

When foreign species are introduced to our ecosystem they become invasive, wrecking havoc on our natural environment by harming the safety of its indigenous species.  It happened with the rock pigeon, the Asian carp, the domestic cat, the alligators in the New York City sewage system, and Persians.  I used to hold invasive species in high regard, they are naturally superior and so they deserve whatever they take over.  But now that invasive species are running rampant on Schrute Farms, I've changed my tune.

Because some irresponsible traveler just had to have their goutweed, it's become a nuisance in the American North East, and on my farm.  Indigenous to Russian Asia, this plant was aggressively monopolizing suckle Schrute soil and blocking sunlight from our beloved beet crops.  Traditional Amish farming methods do not address such a problem; I tried cutting it down, pulling the roots out, prayer and sacrifice... Nothing was working.

As everyone knows, the only way to fight an invasive species is with another invasive species, so I introduced kudzu (an Asian ivy that is notorious for its rapid growth, camouflaging abilities, and rich leafy scent) to Schrute Farms with hopes that it would strangle the goutweed.  It did!  However, the kudzu became difficult to control, attacking our beet crops even more furiously than the goutweed.  Plus it grew over a couple scarecrows, our chicken coop, the Mannheim gravestones, and Mose's favorite outhouse.

The kudzu's days are numbered because soon I will demonstrate my superiority over our ecosystem.  To kill the kudzu I'm using an old Mannheim weapon that dates back to the 60s: the herbicide nitrofen mixed with a little Agent Orange. After it does the trick and kills everything in its path, it will prove that I, Dwight K Schrute, am the most invasive species of all.
