Forget egyptian wheat and hybrid willows...this looks to be sufficient! Neighbor must not want anyone looking at his bean field!

I'm sure the EW or willows are "prettier" tho, and would look like you meant for them to be there.

What kind of screen is that?

Is that giant milk weed?
I don't think that's a screen, looks like some pretty typical weeds you see quite often. Not water hemp, not golden rod, don't think it's horseweed, not pigweed, not giant milkweed. maybe giant ragweed? common one I can't think of it off top of my head. Wonder if it still holds up oct/nov-ish.

How can I get some giant ragweed? I think "my" quail would love it.

I always called them horseweeds, but I'm no expert on plants. I'll try to get a closer pic of the stalk/leaves for you guys. And I'll try to remember to get a pic come Oct-Nov, and winter just for kicks.
And no, this probably was not an intentional screening...just weeds around his beanfield that he didn't spray.
Daver--I have some couple dirt piles that you can have that have the seed in them. Just let me know if you want to haul them away!

Disturb your soil, let the weeds grow and some probably are there. I have these giants growing in my neglected garden

More pics, for those interested in knowing what these weeds are. Confirmed to be giant ragweed.
What does the board recommend planting to create a visual screen? I am contemplating hiring someone with a tree spade. I have a ton of random 4-5' cedars in my CRP. If they could successfully be moved it would block the two spots that you can see into my foodplot from the road.

Pheasants do, killed many a bird out of giant ragweed. Not counting how deer pound that stuff when its within reach.
Get a big enough patch and deer will bed there for great cover before the snows hit and gets deep. They just disappear in a big enough patch of that stuff, especially when its 15' tall.
