I'm inquiring if anyone has found the stems and leaves
of Jerusalem artichokes to be a decent livestock feed,
or if there is some hidden toxin in the green stuff that
adversely affects livestock?  To avoid confusion about the
name, Jerusalem artichokes are in the sunflower family and 
form edible tubers; the name is derived from the Italian
girasole articiocco -- edible sunflower.

Thanks for the feedback! (in advance)
