I get multiple calls every day on w**ds. For your clover craze, elite, mass builder, gold, inner sanctum or other perennials, here is what i have most of my clients using for a w**d control program. For grasses use 8-16 oz/acre/application of clethodim. For broadleaves use 24-32 oz/acre/application of basagran. Basagran controls way more w**ds than butyrac200 so consider that for your program.

I took this picture of winter oats (left) next to winter rye. The variety of winter oats we sell made it thru the winter. Look at the difference in quality. The rye headed out way sooner.

When you plant Long Season Brassicas or GRO Forage Brassica Blend in June or early July, you are planting them to "stockpile" late season forage. When planting this early, the goal is to get the brassicas tall and less attractive for the September thru early November window. You are trying to get more forages on your property for gun season and into the winter. You will want to plant some brassicas in the traditional August planting window for areas you want fall attraction. I will plant long season brassicas 3 times this year. This week, some mid July and the rest around August 5th. This is a strategy for multi purpose nutrition and attraction.
