The planning commission agreed, however, that no time when most of the wheat was coming up. Approximately 50. 000 acres of dryland winter wheat have lieen re-seeded in Morrow County because of cheatgrass problems. Working-up the ground and re-seeding is the most common way to control cheatgrass. Often. Round-up or Paraquat herbicides are used to kill the cheatgrass and the planted wheat before the field is planted again. Scncor herbicide can be used to control cheatgrass in fall planted wheat without reseeding. but proper timing is critical. Wheat plants should have at least three to four tillers and crown (brace) tough questions with produc tive answers we have speak ers coming from throughout the United States who have expertise in marketing, agri cultural economics and mer chandising.

In many wheat fields this fall, the cheatgrass came up with the wheat. Under these conditions, by the time the wheat is big enough for the safe use of Sencor, the cheatgrass is too big for good control. Mustard, tarweed.and other broadleaf weed seedlings are thick in some fields. Re search has shown that weeds can cause 50 per cent or more of their competitive damage vefore late winter or early spring herbicides are applied. Fall applied herbicides can slop the early competition. AJ TV XJL Ray French On A Restaurant Menu, Mark eting For A Profit and a sug gested Course Of Action For Livestock Profit.
