Thank you so much. I rotate 2 draft horses through 5 acres of organic pasture in Quebec. I am glad to learn more about my weeds, such as hedge nettle, ragweed, milkweed etc. I use the following for improving the pasture: frost over-seed my pastures in early spring by hand, spread wood-stove ashes and additional seed on buttercup (indicator of acidity) and ragweed, spread hay leftovers from the hay mow with the manure spreader, spot scythe out milkweed, burdock, (except those growing in my windbreak/wildlife buffer zones). Great video.
Fay Cotton Time to work a deal with someone so more than one species is on it: goats, or mowing. Btw, are you letting the horses keep the grass so short it can't compete with what yr horses don't like? Fence em off and feed hay or some other pasture
At the end there about the Bermuda. Here in ne oklahoma, they wait to hay till the Bermuda gets high. It's preferred. Personally, i don't care for it, but i go with the flow. Gets the cows through the winter.
Up here in Trimble, Henry & Carroll counties I see a lot of patches of poison hemlock. I have been applying 2,4-D on my property and have made really good progress.
till those areas with the hemlock under and just keep tilling them until it stops coming back up 2 4D should be used as minimal as possible twice or less per year, more than that the plants develop immunity, soon as you see them develop resistance leading to immunity, kill them flat out, fire or tilling, don't recommend fire unless nobody is even remotely going to be close to breathing any of it in for miles around. be ruthless treat it like hemorrhagic fever kill on sight with out touching it. where possible, just like hemorrhagic fever, be kind to future generations, and your neighbors by eradicating anything capable of surviving the worst control mechanisms available so that laser armed robots aren't needed right now today that scan for and burn weeds....the cost per acre right now will be more than the farm. prolong the useful life time of 2 4 D for as long as possible.
bermuda can be controlled with slit dethatching as it mainly spreads via runners so if you run a cross hair west to east, south to north slit trench dethatch one month, and then the next month rotate 45º to diagonal cross hairs the next month and then change back and offset for a whole year you should get rid of most of it start at the end of the cool season use snap shot on the entire area, when it doesn't grow and is just about to start coming out of dormancy, then immediately start slit trench dethatching and repeat every 30 days on the dot for a whole year, this breaks apart the grass from all its runners, and further keeps those runners and the main plant from establishing and continuing growth as it's root system is mainly top of ground to very shallow upper 1/2" of the ground root system
28:20 curious, if the poison hemlock is being found more and more along interstates would it be the commercial sale of hay transporting seeds via the interstate highway networks?
broadleaf killer. round up works well. ranger pro same thing but weaker. slash and burn, till under and reseed. depends on the concentrations. organically pine sap spray. the crystallized sap turns white when dry which is the high acid content and will block out the sun and poison the leaves and kill the plant if it sticks to the leaves for a month before totally washing off.
bought a 85 acer farm and had a field cleared of small jack pines and other trees in late November, to late to sow but wondering what would be a good month to sow that field, planning on using it for wildlife not livestock , sowing it with, Timothy, orchard grass, white clover, trefoil, any ideas would be of great help,
Dr. Green you talked about horsenettle in this video and maybe I did not hear or understand your response on how to maintain or get rid of it. When would be the best time of year to spray and what herbicide would be best to use?

Great information. I dont own a ranch or pasture but this is generally good info for all lawns. Thanks for posting.
Great information Dr. Green!! Thanks
Greg Judy doesn’t spray anything. No worming either.

.. You "solve" the "weed" problem with "Sheep" and "Goats" and "brush-hogging" ..
.. 09:49 .. finally mentions "grazing" as a "weed control tool" .. Forget the 2-4-D ..
Keep blasting 2-4d …
One of the lovely ingredients in AO
It’s a poison. Don’t spray poison over your mother 🌎
.. 1.50-X play speed is best for this video .. This man is a "slow talker" .. Good Information, just slow in the presentation ..
Thanks.Very informative.

Need a copy of the brochure to follow along. Weeds are being examined by the students and taken out of camera view.

What is the weed they are talking about around the 23:00 time frame that is toxic?

I've planted grass in December and it snowed and iced over the next week. Grass grew great in the spring.
