[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 413668, member: 3937"] Another thing about Red Root Pigweed. It needs a soil temp of 60+ degrees to germinate so it lays there no matter how much you work the soil. When temp and moisture is right it's everywhere and grows very fast. I have a field of millet thats solid now about 4 ft high pigweed. Guess I'll just bale it up and feed it. When I feed it I'll put it in rings in places I will plant RR corn next year. Roundup with a little atrazine kills it dead 100% from what I've seen. For my millet. Next year I'm going to plow the field, and work it, and pack the surface. What till the pigweed germinates real good, then rework just the surface on a hot dry day. Then plant millet. Think that will work? Oh yah, I have another patch of 5 acrres i put some cow/calves in. They really like it. And seems to be good pasture, just keeps sprouting back. [/QUOTE]
