What is a foamer?

I currently use a 15gallon fimco sprayer on my 4 wheeler for food plots. It typically requires multiple refills which takes extra time. Been looking for a larger one to put on the back of my ranger and came across a 25 gallon that is on a trailer. Anyone ever take the sprayer off the trailer on...

I reseeded the bare areas a few weeks ago and it’s looking great

I think it was poor soil contact, I probably need to add weight to that cuktipacker or use my narrower but heavy yard roller. Do you th link that seed is laying there dormant or trashed due to the moisture but not good contact? Just wondering if I should take precious advice of filling in with...

Sprayed with straight gly. Planted august 4th and we’ve had 1.5” of rain. I could swear it was a lot more than that but that’s what a website is telling me.

To answer a couple of questions: I labeled the pics so you can see the directions. I also added an overhead view of the 4 acre plot. North side is currently clover and South is this brassica. I don't recall how much seed specifically but I did 150% of what the rate called for. It's a blend...

We’ve had a few inches of rain since I planted. Honestly couldn’t have asked for much better. I should add that I had trouble in this area last year too. There was grass that kept overtaking and not letting the brassicas come up. Due to that, I sprayed the grass in early July and then sprayed...

Did a throw n mow a few weeks ago and had mixed results. Method - broadcast brassica mix, sprayed gly, and rolled with cultipacker. As you can see from pics, it’s growing great in some areas and damn near bare ground in others. Should I broadcast more seed and roll again? Disc? My soil is...

I saw a video by Chris Bracket where he is planting in the spring and having great success. Anyone try this method and found that it works? I would love to turn an old field that is just grass/weeds into switchgrass but don't really want to go a fall with bare ground from burning it off for a...

Grass isn’t a problem in the half of the plot that’s clover. It’s only a problem in the half that was supposed to be brassica last fall. The grass grew before the brassicas did.

I plan to leave the 2 acres that’s currently in clover alone for this season and flip it to brassica next year. I want to get the grass into brassica as the grass took over the clover that was there (prior to trying to plant in brassica this past fall)

Isn’t it good to have Nitrogen in the soil for the brassicas I want to plant in the fall?

Here is a pic. I’ve looked up pics of sedge and still don’t know….

I don’t recall what concentration was using, may have been around 4%. Or was enough to kill of everything else I sprayed. I did not add AMS

Spraying with round up. It burns it down quickly but then a new batch regrows fairly soon after. I’m not positive it’s a grass VS sedge
