I think the issue is not what your doing but for whomever is treating then selling that hay or straw to local and big box stores or the manure being sold in bulk and used in bagged compost. So when I go to the store I think if something has a chance to kill my garden plants it should be clearly labeled and would be easy for straw or hay but for bagged soil amendments there no way for me to track it back and see this farm uses on their grass and their cows graze on that grass and they sell that Manure to Scott’s who put it into a mix then bag it and sell it. So idk all the science but if that stuff isn’t breaking down and making its way through the garden food chain that’s kinda dicey but again if your personally not selling hay or straw that’s been treated I see no issue at all
I appreciate you understanding. The negative comments I’m getting are from folks who assume I’m the one getting it out to the public. I’m just using on my farm to kill weeds and it’s really a shame as one viewer commented that I even have to say this. I totally agree with you 100% and again appreciate you being able to apply common sense
Not sure if you have tried Pastra on your Johnson grass. 1 to 1.5 oz per acre. Kills Johnson grass. Check to see if it's compatible with your grasses. Works great in Texas
There is no way to be careful or responsible with poison. Stop looking to chemicals to remedy problems. Rotational grazing and cover crops are healthier option.
I never did, by bush hogging repeatedly and letting the clippings decompose it raised the Ph naturally. If I had needed to plant the field in crop or grow hay immediately I would have had to use the lime to raise the Ph. Thx for watching!
I spray first of spring after it sprouts. I want to spray it then so it kills roots but if you wait too late in season it gets seed heads and spreads. Thx for watching! Dave
Is killing everyone plants. He worked into his soil on his farm like any farmer does or is in the mulches.... every farmer had done this for many years. You have to use common sense and tell people this as a WARNING ⚠️ 🙄 😒 😑 😐 🤣
I just sprayed two fields with 'normal' 2,4-D and was wondering what the difference is between GrazonNext and normal 2,4-D. Available information isn't very clear. Is Grazon Next 2,4-D Choline instead of 2,4-D Ester or 2,4-D Amine? DOW also has FreeLexx which is 2,4-D Choline.which seems to be safer (less restrictive) than even normal 2.4-D. Trying to figure out what to use next spring (2022). By the way, I just read online that GrazonNext has following restriction: "Hay from grass treated with GrazonNext HL within the preceding 18-months can only be used on the farm or ranch where the product is applied unless allowed by supplemental labeling."
That’s what the folks commenting on my videos are saying, “you can’t give or sell that hay without telling people you used it”. That’s why I made this video to let folks that I’m just trying to get my fields back into shape after being neglected for many years. The hay that I take from here will be used for my animals....when I get to that point.
@@bdradley1 Thanks for the replies. Yeah, last year we basically were baling hundreds and hundreds of bales of weeds; it's just a waste of time and effort, and the horses don't like to eat it either (obviously). i hope the 2.4-D we used this year will help; I'd much prefer to make LESS hay, if the quality is better and it contains less weeds. Goldenrod has been particularly invasive in recent years...
@@yesterdayfarm5273 that’s precisely why I didn’t bale anything last year. I sprayed approximately 1000 gal over 2 sprays and then just bush hogged and let decompose, I bet I bush hogged 8 times last year and I can actually get hay this year if I wanted.
@@bdradley1 thanks, I've got a small pasture 5 acres, with a few cows and not a good place to move them unless i use electric fence to block areas off. One cow just had a calf. Wonder how bad it would affect them with just spot spraying?
