[QUOTE="Texan, post: 219108, member: 416"] Nowland Farms did an excellent job of interpreting for me. I was trying to say that I think you wasted your money. This is why I think that: If you had weeds mixed in with the wheat and oats that were just as tall, I would expect them to be cool-season weeds. Killing them won't help you with your summer weed problem: Won't help except for some slight soil activity from the picloram, I should add. But I wouldn't expect much of that. It sounds to me like you had a tremendous amount of dry matter for the Grazon to cover. I don't believe you will end up with much picloram in the soil from that. Aerial rates of total spray volume (chemical + water) applied are very low compared to ground applications. Grazon is labeled for total volumes as low as one gallon per acre with aerial application, although the label recommends two or more gallons. That's not much volume of liquid to cover vegetation that is three feet tall over an entire acre. If your aerial applicator understood what you were wanting to do, and if you have given us the complete story, and if I have understood you, and if I know what I'm talking about, and if, if, if....I would sure feel cheated if I were you. It's the applicator's job to help you figure out what you need to do, in my opinion. To guide you in your decisions. He's supposed to be the expert. For $3,200 an hour, you deserve an expert. I hope it works out for you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
