    Fall spraying.

    Is it too late.Thinking spraying this week when it warms up.The last stuff I sprayed last fall was the best kill.But we may have had more hard frosts this year.Going to spray round up and distinct.only cereals next year then.

        If you don't get good control bayer/Monsanto will say it was too cold .....seems logical.....from their point of view....

          We winterized the sprayer on Saturday.

          Last three weeks everything is done.

              No more spraying here. Winterized the sprayer a short while ago. The dog's water dish has been frozen solid at times...so I can't imagine what the perennials are thinking after the same conditions without snow cover every time it froze HARD.

              We got the pea stubble done that was Regloned. And the flax was preharvested. The rest wasn't too bad at all(probably to the point of not even worth it) but a half section of canola stubble could have used a shot for different thistles...its not like we never incrop spray the following year anyway....or spring preburn.

                If you intend to continue just producing a commodity then spray. If you want to produce food don't spray.

                  Some thistles still have a green leaf close to the ground.some have no green.so I presume only partial control.may not be enough to make it worth while.
