Seem to have a lot of brome coming back in the spring wheat (former hay field).
Any recomnedations on a herbicide. Goldsky and Everest seem to be about all I can find, Goldsky looks to be about $40 per acre and Everest even more. Not sure either of them will do much to smooth brome anyway from their labels.
Suggestions??
 
Is smooth brome the same thing as or similar to "cheat"? In Kansas we apply Olympus or PowerFlex on winter wheat in the early spring for control of cheat. The Olympus website mentions use for spring wheat but I didn't see anything but winter wheat listed on the PowerFlex site. Neither can be applied after the wheat has jointed so if your's is already at this stage it is maybe a moot point, though.
 
Cheat grass (sometimes called downy brome) is a brome grass, but different than smooth brome. Smooth brome is a native grass that is used a lot as hay around here. Taller, deeper rooted, and wider leafed than downy brome.
I guess I was wondering if the reason its not on the label for anything I can find is that it is not considered a weed, or that the products just will not kill it.
