Ive heard there is a new grazon called "grazon next" .Its supposed to do better than the regular stuff around my area.A word of warning though,many things that we consider weeds in a improved pasture ,are a big part of native pasture.Be carefull if your spraying native grass.Sideoats,bluestems ,bur and tick clovers,cheatgrass,johnson grass,even swithgrass or false redtop,are all parts of native grasses,and all together make excellent pastures.cattle will walk right through the best alfalfa field to get to them,and many are even higher in protien than afalfa.Many times you are better off mowing than spraying,because not only do you cut down weeds but remove the old growth of native grass to keep it growing and tender.just something to think about,with fuel prices so high its cheaper to spray usually,but be carefull and know for sure what you are spraying. also another thing to think about,spreading fertilizer on top of ground is generally not the best way,simply because you lose a huge majority of your nitrogen.better way is to take a heavy disc set almost straight and incorporate it in the top 2-4 inches.or if your really serious about re-doing a pasture run a renovator or field cultivateor through it.even better yet ,sow some oats and clover while your renovating.oats will pay for a lot of the renovation by giving you fast grazing,and clover will help keep grass fertilized...and my advice, make sure you get landowners permission before you do anything!you could wind up in a lawsuit,people are funny nowdays....especially when you start spraying chemicals.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
