Iowa officials are asking farmers to report sightings of an invasive weed.  The Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa State University want to know how widespread the Asian Copperleaf infestation has become.

The department says the weed was discovered in Black Hawk County in 2016 and has now been found in a Grundy County soybean field 30 miles away.
