[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 654026, member: 43"] Definitely not dallisgrass -- smutgrass is closer to the mark. Velpar used to be recommended for killing smutgrass, probably still is --- but a strong concentration of Roundup might do the trick as well. If using Velpar you have to be real careful about using it near trees, or where moving water can carry it to trees (it will kill them). Also, if it were dallisgrass your cows would be gobbling it up almost with as much gusto as if it were Johnson grass. Both smutgrass and dallisgrass often have a moldy, blackish looking seed head, but they are entirely different in shape and appearance. When you see the single long stems with about 3 or 4 inches of blackish looking seed head (not multiple heads at the end of the stem) you have smutgrass. [/QUOTE]
