Identification of agricultural weed #827103

Asked April 25, 2023, 11:47 AM EDT

I need an ID on a weed that has invaded a homeowner's garden, originating from an adjacent farm. Homeowner states that the dried plant matter is blowing onto their property similar to a tumbleweed. Homeowner was unable to furnish a live plant sample, but did provide a dried sample (see attached pictures). It looks like it is potentially a C3 cover crop.

St. Joseph County Michigan

Expert Response

I am wondering if it is Russian thistle. This plant is known as tumbleweed.
