New Brome Question

Bobl1958 · Apr 23, 2015

Just wondering about a field of Brome Hay I planted last fall. It got a couple of good rains on it just after planting it and I got a very nice stand. Looked good all winter, but lack of moisture this spring has allowed some cheat grass and weeds to start coming up in it. We got an inch and a half of rain on it finally last week, and possibly more in the next day or so, but I am wondering if the brome will choke out the weeds, or what are your thoughts? The Brome still looks fine, just the weeds are growing faster than the Brome. Thanks for any input. Bob

You might have to cut it once,but when it comes back it should get ahead of the weeds OK.

Get an old Morrison's Feeds and Feeding and you see that most weeds have more nutrition
than most common hay grasses.

Let it head out and go to seed then mow it so it'll overseed itself a little. Should be good to go next year.
