[QUOTE="Weaver, post: 560827, member: 410"] Two weeks ago i was still spraying thistles in pastures. I had one 70 acre pasture to spot spray yet that had always been bad with thistles. When i pulled into with the four wheeler and sprayer "loaded for bear". To my initial disgust, the pasture was loaded with grasshopers jumping everywhere. But I noticed the thistles looked odd. A closer look revealed that the grasshoppers had eaten all the leaves and stickers off every single thistle in that pasture and all that was left was a smooth stem. Since the thistles had no vegetation to soak up the sun, all the thistles were either dead or real close to it. The grasshoppers had then moved to a nasty shrub we have called russian olives and never did bother any of the grass. [/QUOTE]
