Letter: Yellow flowers are buttercup Wendy Burt writes: While Springtime fields in Adair County and around the state may look lovely with waving grasses dotted with a sea of yellow flowers, the yellow flowers -- Buttercup, a member of the Ranunculus family -- is not welcomed by farmers.

We're certainly sorry to see it in our fields.Comments re: Letter: What are all those yellow flowers 2021-05-17 09:40:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
