Start brush control early for pastures and fields
Iowa State University extension weed control expert E P Dutch Sylvester urges farmers to plan brush control this summer using spraying during late June and early July. He lists common woody brush and recommends low-volatile mixtures with wetting agents, spot treatments, and cutting regrowth with brush cutters for permanent control. He warns of dangerous equipment and advises caution to avoid injuries, noting brush elimination can raise pasture carrying capacity by 25 to 33 percent.
