This is greatly inpacting the bermuda crop. Weed control has not been addressed for some time.. The hay has such a high' concentration of sandburs it would be of no use for animal consumption. It is recommended that the crop be cut before a winter cover crop is planted and weed • control be immediately addressed. It is also recommended that the cover crop for the bermuda fields be planted asap. The window for bermuda is March 1st through Sept. 30. Without a winter crop present an exceptable vegatitive crop for spray purposes is not present. Page: 5
