Hitchhiking can be such a dangerous concept so it was changed to Ubering…

I’m 55 years old and all I’ve known my entire life is that the clocks change twice a year. I don’t particularly like change so to do away with changing the clocks will be a change that I probably won’t like. I think.

Happy Birthday to all celebrating today!

Happy Birthday!

Is it normal to have forest fires and so much smoke every year? Seems like it is becoming commonplace?

You guys actually put fuel on fires you are trying to put out???

Sweet! Low miles too! Congrats on a nice looking truck!

I used Butyrac back in the ‘80s then when roundup ready came along I still put a couple of ounces with the roundup to help with giant ragweeds (river bottoms flood plain) and also to try and make the beans node closer. Unfortunately it’s off label for post spraying in the states I’m in.

Neat place. I’ve been there and enjoyed the area near there also.

You sir have a way with photography! Nice pics!

This was soon before sunset. Not a sunset I know but colorful still.

I’m sorry I got off track. Easy to do with threads.

The best weed prevention program I have found includes tillage (cold hard steel) and multiple layering of pre emerge chemistries. If you have waterhemp in your standing beans perhaps you might consider adding tillage (cold hard steel) in the fall or spring to lessen the weed seed bank load in the top two inches of soil. This technique has worked great for me but I also realize that each farm has different conditions and each farm must do what’s best for itself. Waterhemp is a very challenging weed for everyone.

Since I seem to not know much about weeds, my comment about cold hard steel still holds true. Weeds do not adapt to a disc or a turning plow. And yes we do have waterhemp here. Also roundup resistant barnyard grass. I also spray 20000 acres a year so I do have some experience in chemical control. Weeds will and do adapt to certain chemistries. Run over a weed with a disc blade and you’ll most likely end up with a dead weed.

I know what you mean. Honestly it seems like grasses are getting tougher to kill lately even with chemicals. Maybe I’m dreaming but it seems that way to me.
