    Chickweed in Silage Ground

    This past two seasons we have notice our silage ground is getting plagued majorly with chickweed. Just had a walk around some of the fields and it’s worse than last year.

    Spray question.....

    I was looking something to control some docks and dandelions etc it has been suggested to use doxstar with some agritox. Has anyone any other suggestions? Forefront etc is out of the question as the silage is sold off so I cant use anything with a restriction.

    Docks!

    Hi As like in many parts of the country, this precipitation continues to hamper my thoughts about going out and harrowing the f**k out of our paddocks after the sheep have left to give the growing docks a headache vs chemical approach, because I am seeing some pop up around the site as...

    Farm market place
