Now is when cool season grasses start producing seedheads. It can’t be avoided & it’s perfectly OK. The lawn may look stemmy for a bit.
Just keep mower blades sharp & consider fert after this flush to aid in recovering, specially if no spring apps have been applied.

Alfalfa & #hay growers - this week’s cold temps could impact our #forage stands. But there’s nuance too - soil temps, slope, plant density, etc. A good link I recommend when these conditions occur, from Dr. Steve Barnhart, Iowa State: https://t.co/JIh1zEm6Pm #LaCrosseSeed

No-Till Isn’t Enough. One IL farmer wishes more steps were taken (like #covercrops) on their HEL ground a couple years ago. Year 1 = 3’ deep ravine; Year 2 = “better farm around it”; Year 3 = another fork of the Little Wabash River. Stay tuned....

Timing is critical when controlling winter annual weeds in conventional alfalfa. Mild temps are pushing regrowth across the Midwest.... these herbicide decisions best be made ASAP. @ForageFirst

[Scott Wohltman, CCA @SWCoverCrop]

I’m getting several questions about crabgrass PRE timing & forsythia blooms.... MSU’s GDD Tracker removes the guesswork.

Michigan State's GDD tracker helps with timing seedhead control and other pests. Check it out! http://t.co/xc9E944oUm

The tweets from folks I follow are keeping me sane the last few days. THANK YOU - Good stuff for sure. Unbelievably, this extended office time makes me think I need to get back into this Twitter game again. Expect my tweets to be hard-hitting & highly controversial....yeah right

[Scott Wohltman, CCA @SWCoverCrop]

Still a few crimson plants standing, but so far so good for this field planted into #SoilFirst SF142 in southern IL.
