Tom: I think weeds are quite universal, just some of us have quite different problems with them. As kopeck said, he's had two frosts already. If he mows it off right now, his grass will come back quite well in the next two months. However any of these weeds we have will get nipped by ongoing frosts. Come real hard winter, he'll have a nice dead grass cover to protect the grass roots from 0 to -35 F, which we can expect through much of Jan. and Feb. Sometimes not a problem if we get snow cover, but we can't depend on that. This has been perhaps the biggest enjoyment I've gotten at YT. Listening to how folks handle crops differently across this great continent and it's many varied climatic conditions. I've always farmed with severe winters, it clobbers weeds, insects and disease. I've always farmed with 36" plus of annual rainfall. It's been interesting to see how you folks in the south handle weeds, insects and disease, and how the dryland farmers in Nebraska handle moisture. But then you must wonder how we handle 7 months of stored feeding for cows. We don't discuss this subject much, it could have an entire page devoted to crop differences and how we handle those differences.
