[QUOTE="Richardin52, post: 1016602, member: 18391"] I agree, there are many reasons why weeds may become a problem. Fix the reasons and fix the problem. Could be overgrazing, soil imbalance, stock density may be too light. Continues pastures are famous for weed problems. Weeds have been for 50,000 years or more and they have not taken the world over yet. If they have taken your pastures over there is a reason they are there. I took over some fields a few years back that was just loaded with queens annes lace to the point the fields were white. I put down chicken manure at a rate of 3000 lbs to the acre and the next year I could only find three plants all summer. Thats a clasic case of soil imbalance where soil conditions were right for a weed to grow. [/QUOTE]
