Small Grain Weeds

There has been a lot of small grains planted over the last 3 months.  It is hopeful that the needed rains will come based on all these El Nino reports and maybe we will have a good year with lots of forage.  So far the grain looks great and even some dairymen have made an early cutting based on good growth this fall.

One of the things we are seeing this fall with the rains that we have received is that the grain is growing good and so are the WEEDS!  Already henbit, shepherd’s-purse, mallow (in picture)

and mustards are doing every bit as good as the grain and are poised to be a problem.  Where you have weeds, you don’t have small grain.

We have several good weed control products available and prices are not too bad but with weeds, sooner is always better.  It is much easier to control these weeds before they get too big and already henbit is flowering.  Go check out your fields and then give us a call to spray that mess early!
