Mow Weeds Now in Pastures to Hold Them in Check
Iowa State college extension agronomist Horace Cheney notes that mowing weeds before seed development can cut losses in pastures. Ragweed, wild barley, dock, sheep sorrel, peppergrass, and thistles are already being treated, with several more mowings likely to prevent seeding. Annuals suffer most when cut during bloom. perennials like ironweed and vervain are damaged if cut at full leaf stage.
