Central Ga | I seriously hate it for you guys. We have been fighting them here for about ten years or a little longer. The first Roundup resistant (should be called Roundup proof) Palmer Amaranth was found about twenty five miles from me. The good and diligent farmers here manage them very well, however a hoe is a very important tool for most operations here. Frankly we could not manage them here without the use of a hoe. It is a part of life now. Most everyone here who is doing a good job managing this weed is using a chopping crew as part of their management plans and many good farmers are doing a lot of chopping themselves. I know a couple of very large farmers who use a crew for the big jobs, but they take care of a lot of scattered weeds and escapes themselves. They are both well over 70 years old too!! | |
