roundup was $40/acre when first released. We had an old pasture with bad quackgrass and wanted to try it. It was cheaper to cultivate it 10 times, rake it and burn the rows than buy roundup. I think I ate 10 pounds of dirt sitting in that old tractor.

I wonder where Tilt is at. The Australians are buying Chinese generic for less than $5.00 per acre
