    Liberty (Glufosinate) rate

    Thanks for the help. For what it's worth, I also called Keystone, and learned how to figure OZ per gallon. Which now that I know, I feel dumb not figuring it out. They said take the recommend range of water per acre and range of OZ of product per acre and dive the product/water. Now I know.

    Liberty (Glufosinate) rate

    Depending on which plot I'm doing, I'll be using either a 4 gallon backpack sprayer or a 25 gallon FIMCO atv Boom sprayer, so not really precise on the calibration. that's why I was hoping for an OZ per gallon number.

    Liberty (Glufosinate) rate

    Looking for some help on Liberty and generic liberty rates. The labeled rate is 15-29 oz per acre of Glufosinate. Can anyone help me with converting that to oz per gallon for burndown before a brassica planting? Thanks in advance

    Yep, I'll have a fully tilled seedbed and then I'll either lightly till, or hook up the disc and lightly disc

    Sedge Control

    I had a bad run in with yellow nutsedge in an established clover plot. If it’s sparse you can spot spray a hot gly mix. I got a good kill with 4oz per gallon. For an herbicide that will kill the sedge and not the clover- try bentazon 4. I got mine from keystone pest solutions. I believe it’s...

    Interesting Iowa DNR Story

    A Great and very complex topic in my mind. I have strong feelings both ways as I have struggled with and reported poaching activities ,but also strongly oppose government overreach (subjective opinion for sure). I have problems with evidence that isn’t obtained via a warrant or searches...

    What is "Lightly Disking" and is it better than a drag

    No, in my case I don't think my drag will go deep enough to cover this larger seed I am using for my summer plots . That's why I was looking to lighlty disc it in. Historically- with smaller seed I've just broadcast into a tilled up seedbed and run my chain drag over it. However- when I tried...

    What is "Lightly Disking" and is it better than a drag

    I will be planting Iron Clay Cow please, Lablab, sunflowers and Milo this weekend. I have both a disk and a drag harrow. I have never planted this mix before so not sure which method is better for covering this specific seed- which I know needs to be deeper than the smaller seed I normally...

    how big must a bedding area be?

    Sounds like you’ve got good potential. I’m a believer in working with what you have to make it as good as possible. I have 51 acres and took the 25 open out of ag. Made 5 acres of nwsg cover and made about 2 acres of bedding in the woods. Different layout that yours but just meaning to say that...
