The sad part is that amaranth is actually a healthy crop. the palmer amaranth specifically is edible, nutritious and very climate and drought resistant.
it's just not as profitable in the US compared to corn or soybeans and therefore it is destroyed and considered a pest.
that's really sad if you ask me, because they undergoe such troubles to kill a field crop. why not just embrace it and farm it??
