Research Evaluates Pasture Weed Control with Herbicide

One of the most common subjects that are asked about each spring is weed control in pastures. Devising a strategy for effective weed control depends on many factors including weed species and growth stage, weed density, soil fertility, pH, forage type, stocking rate or forage requirements, and proximity to sensitive crops. If the weed density is low or is not limiting forage availability, then it does not meet the treatment threshold and treatment is not justified for production reasons. Often we are able to improve grazing or fertilizer management, which can keep weed density below the treatment threshold. However, in many cases herbicides are necessary to maintain infestations below that threshold. CLICK HERE FOR MORE

Joke of the Month

A cocky Department of Agriculture representative stopped at a farm and talked with the old farmer: "I need to inspect your farm."
The old farmer said, "You better not go in that field."
The Agriculture representative said in a "wise" tone, "I have the authority of the U. S. Government with me. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on agricultural land."
So the old farmer went about his farm chores.
Later, the farmer heard loud screams and saw the Department of Agriculture man running for the fence; close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets, and the bull was gaining at every step.
"Help," the rep shouted to the farmer, "What should I do?" he screamed helplessly.
The old farmer, hooking his thumbs in his overalls, called out: "Show him your card." Bull
