[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1439733, member: 17843"] I have a few areas of pasture that have gotten a little out of hand with iron weeds, sericia, and a few other weeds. What would be the best steps to returning the pasture to a more grassy area? I know a lot of people say they never mow their pastures because they let the cows mow it and they see no sense in mowing down cattle feed. I'm sure, however, that those fields are mostly grass anyway. Will mowing two or three times a year reduce weeds? I read an article that said one should mow in late May or early June and then again in about a month. The article claimed it would drastically cut down on iron weeds. I'm not considering frequent mowing for the rest of my life, but if frequent mowing works, I thought I could do that a year or two and then spot spray. Does that sound like a decent plan, or is there a better way? Oh, and I'm not concerned about fuel costs of mowing. If it works, I'll do it. I just don't want to burn fuel if it doesn't work or ouf there's a more efficient way to get rid of weeds. [/QUOTE]
