Weeds are a fact of life these days. Would that it weren’t so, but it is. You either spray them or they overtake your barn yard. Simple as that.
We choose to spray them.
Dad has his weed and pest permit so he knows how to deal with chemicals.
We were working with a sterilant today. A bit more of a science that your average Roundup.
Once the tank was mixed, we went around all the out buildings.
Then hit the Sandbox and other weed prone areas.
Not the funnest part of ranching, but it has to be done. Otherwise, weeds take over. Gone are the days that bare ground will sprout native grasses. Invasive species are the default. Good stewardship deals with them before they deal with you. Ranch on.
