[QUOTE="Josher, post: 1639713, member: 37963"] We have pocket gophers bad wherever we have older alfalfa stands. I’m not sure what your crop rotation situation is but we won’t have much for pocket gophers for the first maybe 4 years of a hay stand but then after that they multiply like rabbits so we pull a mole hill leveller over the hay fields every other year just to smooth out the hay fields. By 10 years the hay isn’t producing quite as good so we just spray it out and grow crops for a while. The pocket gophers run out of food and shelter so they disappear pretty quick. I used to trap them in spring and just after haying and that was fairly effective but I just don’t have time anymore. [/QUOTE]
