I'm guessing 2012 will be remembered as the year Ed started raising ferrets and weasels. ;)<br /><br />Your friend should be thankful he lost only 10 bushels per acre on this marestail patch, it frequently does much more damage. I hope he can fix it for next year's harvest. Since soybeans are planted late, wouldn't false seedbeds be a good way to get rid of marestail? With no-till, you wouldn't even have to prepare a seedbed, just a light hoeing or burning of the young weeds. And the weeds wouldn't grow any resistance to it like they do for Roundup or other herbicides.<br /><br />I haven't seen any such equipment for sale though. Friends that use it usually made it themselves. One they call Attila that they use in carrot fields is just a glorified gas burner. They use it both before and after planting, before seed emergence.<br /><br />What happened to "one hoeing is worth two waterings"? Oh wait, that's a French saying only. ;)Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-85054385830434900132012-10-13T11:16:44.114-04:002012-10-13T11:16:44.114-04:00150 per acre adds up pretty fast.
