Planted 5/18 when do y'all think we ought to spray it? Usually hunt it 2nd weekend.
Yep! When my farm partner told me the cost of the post emergent herbicide we needed per acre I declined! Can't remember the name of the chemical? There is also some browntop mixed in. We usually cut it low with hay cutter and rake/ bail it or light rows on fire. I think I might disk some around perimeter and torch it.Plenty of weeds.
When back of heads change colors you can spray

They don't pick it out the finches do and the doves get what they drop. Better to get it on the ground then to let the finches eat off the head unless you want to leave some standing for a later shoot.Brother and I were talking about this weekend and I have a question for those who know more about this that myself. Obviously doves will pick seed up off the the ground and I've seen them light on a sunflower head. But will they actually dig seed out of the intact seedhead too? Or feed only if it's on the ground?
We usually just mow strips but thought about knocking some down this year then leaving a bunch standing thinking maybe it would be a longer time to draw birds.
Hope the birds show up and you have a great shoot!
