To be honest, you never know if your MaxQ gets invaded by KY 31. Often they establish a plot and test to only find years later its been invaded. Its easier to work with what you got and learn how to use it.
But they must not be eating the seedlings before they are problems. Big difference!! Sheep I've seen ate them and then didn't see them come back till a new crop next year. Different strokes for different folks. Different climates = different problems.
Do the cows not eat the pods? There actual been research using them in pasture setting to provide extra feed as pods and shade for the cattle. I've seen sheep eat the pods like candy and their seedlings. Turn them lose in new pasture and first thing they would go for was the honey locust...
Kenny is right!! At least wait till fall to plant your fescue!! You can get a good stand maybe planted around Oct then it will over winter and be ready for grazing. Usually fall plantings will make for a stronger stand. If you keep the serica around 6 inches it will be good for grazing as the...
My job focuses on reclaimation of surface mine lands and typically find that one must work with the serica if grazing. Keep it managed in vegetation state as makes it more palatable to the cattle. Mainly roating cattle and do as you say mow if needed. With surface mined ground just no way...
Sometimes people just like to fuss. My husband is one just the way he is and I do my best to ignore it. Maybe she is just critical like him. Granted I'll tell you that no offense to my gender, but most females don't know their own mind. So there is usually not simple answers when it comes to...
LOL!! At my house its my husband complaining about how much I work and being home late!! Thats ok my father usually babysits him till I get home and I just go collect him.
She is just going down the list!! Starting with the most annoying parts first!! JK!!
Sent an email to graduate student studying dung beetles at Virginia Tech. She says it is called Dichotomous carolinus and native to North America. Referred me to http://bugguide.net/node/view/17255
Told me to be on the look for a rainbow scarab. Said I would know it if I saw it.
I would say depends on how often you want to spray and see it as an investiment or a one time thing. Granted we always have weeds to spary at least around here we do. Yeah I'm pretty sure that Crossbow and Cimarron are not restricted use pesticides. Usually the EPA determines that, but can...
I've always known cheatgrass as downy brome. Its an annual, so mechanical control should be a good option if you don't want to spray just keep it from going to seedhead. Since its an annual probably a preemergenct herbicide would help like maybe Treflan. Just some thoughts, but check with...
