NE Iowa | The way you are growing you need to get your own sprayer. The money you can save using your own sprayer can pay for itself in a couple years. I had a small patch of rye that I combined to create lanes for chopping with a pull type chopper. I am also chopping corn this week and everything will be no-tilled to rye. I sprayed my weed / grass rye stubble on Sunday to get it killed before drilling. The foxtail was thicker and taller then I thought and while I was doing it. I almost wish I would have cut it and round baled it. My cows like to eat foxtail. One thought would be to bale it and give it to your cows this winter. They may only eat 20% of it but in the winter they would enjoy tearing it apart and sleeping on it. If you cut it off nice and short and no-tilled into it right after baling the rye would probably be able to compete. | |
