East Central, Nebraska | I'm in your boat on cost of all this.
completely no till into standing 250bu cornstalks.
started with authority first, brawl II, crop oil, 24D pass early. cost about $26. I think the brawl was a complete $6 waste. went over everything with it.
I have completely different results from this mix. on field near my house does not have a weed in it, on the other side of my house I used roundup and ultra blazer post. cost about $12.
another field I got by with roundup pass only on half and generic flexstar pass and corn killer on the other half for a total about $7-12 (so I am told).
I am freaking out a little about what it is taking to get these weeds in the beans under control, I guess I calm myself down a little by assuming my average is much cheaper than I think due to some of the fields needing almost nothing done to them post. I suppose I have as low as $30 in to them and as high as $45 in a few of the acres. I can live with that, what I have a hard time going to sleep at night thinking is what if it all needs another pass. that makes me sick.
I wonder how many people in my area thought they would be like others have posted above and spend some bucks on a pre and then a post or two of roundup. roundup is proving to be very un-effective here.
I am seeing a lot of people in my area still putting on fomesafen (flexstar), I don't think I can bring myself to doing that, though it is so cheap an effective. I wouldn't be able to sleep all winter if I did that.
