Administration fears tight veto override vote on farm support bill
Washington officials concede the House override of President Ford's veto on a farm supports bill may be closer than expected. Admin aide John Foltz cautions it could be a squeaker, with 40 to 45 votes needed from a 70 member Democratic bloc. The bill raises supports for grains, wheat, cotton, soybeans, milk, and dairy. Ford argues the measure adds 1.4 billion to the deficit and risks higher food prices and lost foreign markets.

Time to Control Thistles in Pastures Says ISU Expert
Extension crops specialist Jerry Gogan urges targeting Canada thistles in pastures and waste areas when they are four to six inches tall before blooming. He explains perennials store energy in roots, so spraying then depletes root reserves and prevents regrowth. Iowa State University recommends 24-D 2 4 5 T or Banvel for pasture spraying.

Farm spraying rates and herbicide choices guidance
The agronomist warns against exceeding label rates and against adding fuel oil when spraying thistles. Weed species and land use determine herbicide choice. Banvel often controls hens better than 2,4-D though drift is a concern. Livestock re-entry times and milk or meat residue limits vary by chemical and rate.
