I don't, it was a while back, but Dad may remember and I can ask him...

For now I am in Graduate School... After I am finished, I will be back on the farm/ranch...

I lived in the Front Range of Colorado for about 4.5 years while at school at Colorado State and couldn't believe that all of this was happening. Pretty soon there will be no water or land for agriculture in this area... Being a country girl, it was hard to listen to the views of the people...

I'll try it one day when I am done with grad school and actually have a fully functional kitchen to work in... Until then, you could send me some :) Just kidding ;-)

I second that you should try to offer them something other than strictly turnips. Once I helped a guy move his herd from a turnip field to pasture and WOW there was quite a cloud following them down the road...as well as some (actually a lot of) green stuff on the road marking their path... ;-)...

Angus, Tarentaise, and once a South Devon...

I heard that good quality horse hay is going sky high in the west... Droughts will do that...even though it is easier to put up good hay in a drought, you can't put up what doesn't grow! Nature is cruel like that...

Ooops... guess not! I've been upgraded! YIPPEE :lol:

Good question... I'm still stuck at city slicker too... :(

My great grandmother used to make chokecherry jelly. Since she's been gone, I really miss it!

It is a contact herbicide and kills all plant tissue it touches. However, it will not killl weeds if they are above a certain size. If they are too big, the plants will be defoliated and then grow back in a few weeks. In that case, roundup would be a better choice. I don't remember the rate...

I second what Dave said. Stinger works extremely well for us since it translocates down into the rhizomes of the plant. These underground roots are what keeps the plant coming back again and again after pulling or spraying with a less intense herbicide. It is expensive but we only mix up...

I think Alabama meant the "dough" stage. I found a really good article put out by the SDSU Extension. The link is below... I hope it helps! http://agbiopubs.sdstate.edu/articles/ExEx8142.pdf 8) :) 8)

Hey all, That is definitely burdock, as I think you all have established. I am an Agronomy student and have had several classes regarding the control of certain weeds so maybe I can give some advice :) The plant has an extensive root system and is difficult to kill with most common...

Those are beautiful! I haven't seen some of those varieties before. :lol:

I am also from a totally different area, but here's what we do for our garden. Several weeks before you are planning to plant, prepare the area and hopefully rain will sprout weed seeds, then spray with roundup. Every time a new batch of weed seedlings emerges, spray the area before they get...

We soak our gourd seeds before planting and usually have good luck if the seeds aren't old.

I am not sure what you mean by extremely low temperatures but we also get snow on and off during the winter. I guess I am not too interested in introducing any more exotic species into this part of the country. It seems as though they are all that exist in some areas. However, if it works for...

I had never heard of that grass and did some looking around on the web for info. It appears to be more of a tropical/sub-tropical species and definitely wouldn't survive our winters here. I even found several websites that considered it an invasive exotic species. But, with its high forage...

NorCalFarms, I think it would do pretty well up there. You should be able to get a considerable amount of growth in the spring to graze and then I would lay off of it until the following spring. If you had some late summer moisture, it may even grow significantly enough to graze in the fall...
