[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 6941911, member: 430"] That's a sorry sight to see. I think you chose well with fallow - first loss best loss and all that. I always think that the right time to spray BG is before spending on fert and chem in the spring. At that stage I either I spray it off then with it having cost very little (with the ability to replant a spring crop if I wish) or commit to carry the crop through to harvest and get some revenue for my costs. This year I have some fields of both - the spring crop following has zero BG so long term gain but may not do well in the short term financially. The wheat with BG still in it will probably pay better today, but I'll likely foot the bill later due to extra seed return. Spending out and spraying off in May/June seems a road to ruin to me. :( [/QUOTE]
