Man I hope freezing doesn’t do that. I have half a bottle left to put away. Label says to shake it if it has frozen. They give no other guidance.

I don’t know what it was for sure. I filled the sprayer and had to leave it sit overnight because it got really windy. I also forgot to add AMS. I had to get more liberty “like” to have enough to spray and the new stuff was definitely a lighter color. Both were generic. Maybe the Chinese knock off can’t freeze.

The best brassicas I've ever grown have all been randoms that pop up somewhere i hadn't intended.I got the best brassica plant I’ve ever had. Unfortunately there is just 1
Must have spilled a seed into the old burnt stump on my yard last fall.
Believe it or not, it’s been browsed. Winfred Brassica.
Wow, thought that was a painting at first

I think the pressure regulator on my sprayer went out. Used to run at 35 PSI and put out 16 Gallons per acre. She's running about 70 PSI now and dumping double. I definitely killed the heck out of 3 acres of weeds in my beans before figuring it out. Don't have time to fix it this trip. I just adjusted the gallons per acre to the new rate. Kinda reminds me of the mosquito trucks when I was a kid

There are beans under this ragweed field. It's 1/4 acre next to a larger plot. Ran out of spray on my last trip and let it go.
Could have sprayed yesterday but decided to leave it go for the quail. There were no quail here when I bought the place. I kicked up a covey of over 30 today. Guess that's what happens when you let a clean looking hay farm go to hell
The hidey hole plot we put on my friends place turned out just as I thought. The deer hammered it. 4 acres of 6 inch beans except for in the cage. I sprayed the foxtail. Going to broadcast some brassicas into it tomorrow. Then fall back to rye in mid sept when the brassicas don't make it.

Love this quote. That is an impressive ragweed crop!

And I cut 4 foot off each side. Have to unfold them manually and they were heavy!
Best $1500 I ever spent when I bought this thing. Over the years I've rebuilt about everything on it except the pressure regulator. Once that's done everything is new except the hoses.

Ragweed for me got out of control several times and spread. Lots of OM but stalks like corn.

Deer will eat the hell out of it at times as well. I have seen does walking down the turn rows on a cornfield "sucking" the leaves off of ragweed just about as fast as they can.
The quote I’m partial to is : “Then fall back to rye in mid sept WHENTHE BRASSICAS DONT MAKE IT”
It makes me laugh and reminds me of me!
Ragweed……is it just me or do your guys see lots of browsing on it too? I had some random plants in my brassica plots last year and every one of them got ate.

Snapped pics while I was mowing the outside edge of my old NWSG field. Was planted to big blue, little blue and a hint of Indian grass about 15 years ago. The Indian grass seems to be the dominant one these days.
Going to have to mow the Miscanthus this spring. Several years of old cane left standing is breaking in the wind and making it lean in some places.
Installed a new turd in the punch bowl today.
