Cheat grass origins?

Gaby & Mike-
Thanks for your responses & info. Having the cheat grass up on my
hillside is sort of a two-edged sword. The good part is that it helps
cut down on soil erosion. The disadvantages are that it's a fire
hazard when it dries out and it's a real pain to pick the seeds out of
your shoes & socks after walking through it.
Take care,
Gary
It's also awful if you have floppy-eared dogs!
I grew up in western Nebraska and our dogs were in the vet regularly to
have cheat grass pulled out from deep in their ear.
