&bsp;Ron Searcy of Wells Farm said last week that people would see a dramatic difference within a week. The goats will first eat the leaves of kudzu and other weeds and then begin working on the roots.

The goats so far have made a dent in the front portion of the property and along the fenced border, with a visible difference in the leaves.

Tryon officials have been discussing for a few years how to tackle the problem of kudzu on town-owned property. Officials were using a chemical to eradicate kudzu in some areas, but this particular area contains two streams and will one day be part of the town&squo;s greenway system.

The town paid $600 for the month&squo;s rental.
