Digging post holes by hand can take 45 min. around here. I did it that way as a kid. If the moisture ain't right a power digger will just sit on top a spin. Our soil can go from red clay to white gumbo twice in the same 3 foot hole. If you walk across a cotton field after a rain you will be...

I like woven wire fences as well. I have fences that have not been touched in 20 years. All my fences are field fence, even the cross fences, They are not as heavy wire as the perimeter though. Build them right and they will last. 3 foot in Alabama red clay is plenty deep. I won't go into the...

If you do plant it. Have tractor running with bushhog spinning. Throw seed and pop clutch, maybe you can beat it home. Trust me its that bad.

One thing to be aware of is differant weeds should be sprayed at differant times for best results. In my case its wild buttercup and dog fennel. The wild buttercup can be killed easier before it blooms with less chemical. My problem is the dog fennel is not up before the wild buttercup is at the...

Depends on what they spray with if 9-10 is a good price. 2,4-d is a lot cheaper than grazon. It cost me $8.32 per acre this year to spray my own with grazon. Also the rate they spray will have a big impact on their price. The type of weeds will determine the rate needed to kill them. A lot of...

I can run 1 cow and 1 calf per acre here in north Alabama. Some places are 30 acres per cow. Best thing to do is talk to your neighbors as this changes drastically from location to location.

I got 1/2" inch. First rain since early May when I got 2 tenths.

Mine are on the pasture while I'm spraying. No problem

What if he quoted you a price of 50 dollars a roll. Then for some reason fertlizer prices fell through the roof and everbody was selling lots and lots of hay for 20 dollars a roll. Would you still give him $50 even though he was selling to everbody else for $20?

Heres what I'm spraying now. 110 gallon tank, 5th gear, 1500 rpm, 40 psi. 227 feet covered in 35 seconds. 24oz per head in 35 seconds. 96 oz grazon, 64oz 2,4-d, 48 oz topsurf ( surfactant ) per tankful 24 gallons solution per acre. 4.5 acres per tankfull. $34.24 per tank, or $7.60 per acre...

Still trying to get the pics to show up. maybe this well work. edited to add, nope I still ain't got it.

The prevailing winds are from the infested field towards the not so infested field. So I'm sure that some of them are from seeds from the infested field. The noninfested field has some in it that does not border the infested field as well. I did not spray last year as there was not enough to...

http://cattletoday.com/photos/showphoto ... mit=recent http://cattletoday.com/photos/showphoto ... mit=recent I had a little time and got the other two pics posted. they are the same fields as the other two. How the heck do I make the pics appear with out having to click on them.

I've often wandered why manure has so many weeds. I decided a long time ago not to use it for that reasen. With the high cost of fertilizer I have started using it again. I have some more pictures to load. I'm at work right now and I have a 125 horse motor to put on a extruder. After that I'll...

Mike- the second pic with the tree in center has a few buttercups in it. The field to the left of the fence has a lot of wild buttercups in it. I was lazy and zoomed way out, may be the reason they ain't clearer. Stepper - yes both fields are use exactly the same. They were both grazed to about...

Hey I tried, I can't get the pic's to show up for comparison. Someone know what I did wrong?? at least you can click them.

http://cattletoday.com/photos/showphoto ... mit=recent http://cattletoday.com/photos/showphoto ... mit=recent Both pastures were sprayed two years in a row. One with 2,4-d and the other with Grazon. Last year I didn't spray as there wasn't many weeds. The second pic was taken this morning, as...

this will only kill top growth. It will do it quickly though. It will come back from the roots in a short while.

I did try for a pic today but the batteries in the camera were dead. I'll get it tomorrow maybe. One field was treated with 2,4 -d only and the other with Grazon ( 2,4,-d and picloram) 2 years ago for 2 consecutive years. The 2,4-d side is full of buttercups. The grazon side did not have any...

I'll try to get a pic of a couple of fields for you. They are next to each other. One was treated with 2,4-d and one with grazon 2 years ago. The picture is worth a 1000 words on which is best.
