I'm glad you finally see the glory of quinclorac! For everyone here, it is THE solution to foxtail. Switch is VERY resilient to Quinclorac. We tried everything, but this is the only thing that knocked it completely out like we needed.

Got back surgery so can't spray and ride my 4010 john deere till healed. Sure hope my back heals cuz I'm a dv and been sick 11 years now and want to get it back so I can have one good season physically to time everything I need to do on time in my heart and my mind so my deer have groceries and I can harvest a big buck and doe for the wall and freezer. Trust me guys if your health keeps you from getting out to do the farm chores with all the equipment you already possess and own to do this preparing and your health says you can't; its very depressing!!! God bless all you fellow hunters out there who can and do this exercise of growing groceries properly to harvest a big buck and doe. Its just the greatest accomplishment out their. Thanks for all your advice and coaching. Great videos, it really helps to know how to be successful and why, thankyou man!!! Good luck to all my fellow Americans getting your chores done and being a successful harvester!!!🦌

Always knew about germination rate, but didn't know companies coated their seeds. Saw some for sale at tractor supply and 50% of the bag weigh was seed coating! Love your coaching Jeff. Plan to buy your switch this week.

Thanks Jeff! Just planted switch this weekend! I'm going to stay on top of those weeds for sure!

Just cut out a new plot and your videos have been huge help!

I've got some switch grass,20 years old this year. My wife and I took a master gardeners class at Purdue,and a guy in the class had some seed packets of some kinda prairie mix,so we threw out the seed in a little patch just for fun, and the only thing left over the years is that giant switchgrass! I didn't even know what kinda grass it was until I started watching your videos. Now I have maybe an acre of 2 year old,and some that was frost seeded in February. O%hard seed, so I probably didn't need to get it out so soon. Anyways, I got simazine sprayed on all of it.

would like hear process on how to plant switch into existing CRP

I have been waiting for this video. Thanks

Very helpful! Thanks Jeff. Hope you are getting some fishing in!

Getting a strong understanding switchgrass installation coming into year 4. Patience and persistence and it will explode!

Thanks Jeff, mowing sounds right I need switch next to house and I have pets so strong chems are out

Out enjoying a turkey hunt this morning

One thing I’ll add is to not drive over the switchgrass much during the establishment year. Made that mistake on one line of it, but where I didn’t drive on it much or at all it’s established much better.

Can you please start showing these weeds that you talk about? Like doing a video showing the different types of weeds and which ones are the harder ones to kill, etc.

Hi Jeff so I just burned off an older switchgrass seeding. A couple days ago. Just wondering if I can spray that with simazine to kill of some unwanted cool season grass. Or can I spray Roundup at first green up to kill the cool season grass that's creeping in ..?

Some people tell me I should keep bushes on my property when I plant switchgrass because I don’t have much more diversity. How could I do that without kill the bushes but killing the weeds?

Can you do a video on how long we should fence off trees like crab apple/ apple and tips on pruning trees?

Hey Jeff, great content as always! I am starting my habitat journey in the winter of 2023/2024. I am going to do some prairie pockets associated with switch of big Blue, little blue and maybe some others. Will these step work just as well on those pockets? I would think so, as you have stated grass is grass. haha Thoughts?

What kind of sprayer do you use for food plots? Thankyou

Do you expect this warm spell hitting the Midwest, specifically southern WI, to cause frost seeded switch to germinate earlier? Should I be spraying glyphosate and 2,4-D now before next week’s forecasted rain or is there still plenty of time before germination?

Thanks for the break down on a yearly perspective. I am on year two with minor weeds and trimming down weeds to switch height worked great on my first year switch. Is there any benefit to fertilizing switch? Increased height?

Hey Jeff, thanks for the video. I'm in central MN and planted switch last year with little to no germination. Hoping they were dormant and will germ this spring. We are just loosing snow cover and I'm planning on spraying simazine this week or next, is it still advisable to spray 24d/gly 3 weeks after green-up or is that too risky with the young switch if it germs or do you think with our weather the germination will be pushed back to end of may/early june? Thanks for your time!

Quick question Jeff, will simazine help with golden rod that grew in with my switch last year (3 foot switch, 1 growing season) if I go and spray it here in March while everything is still dormant?

2nd full growing season, spring Simazine, mow once in June/July, spray 24D if needed… Sound right? Just don’t want to kill it, first timer here

I've maintained switchgrass that I've planted going back to 12 years now. I've burned and mowed all the different spots over the years I always have had the best luck with burning. The following growing seasons always seem to be the best after a burn. I guess couldve been a coincidence?

Can switch take off and grow in a stubble corn field or should the field be disc up first.

Hi Jeff, how low can you mow if the first year switch about a foot tall? Limited with height of current equipment of about 4.5".

Will it help to use a weedwacker on the foxtail for 1st and 2nd year switchgrass?

To help feed deer in Northern MN/WI, any pro/cons to keeping some hay bails around and breaking them up throughout the long winter months?

When you mow your 2nd year switch, let's say for the second time of the year. What height off the ground are you mowing it to? 3"??

Might be a dumb question… But have you ever just pulled the weeds instead of spraying?

Jeff, just purchased my 2nd bag of Northern switch from WHS. We are having a rapid warm up with temps sustained in the 80's for several days. I was able to get some Simazine down but it is too early for Gly/2-4-d. Could the switch start germinating with this sustained warmup?

Spring green up. When spraying simazine, is there still frost in the ground? Or is it typically melted by then?

What setting do you use on the earth way when planting your switch?

Been wanting to spray my Switch with Gly but it looks like my Switch is up already here in Northern Indiana. Can that happen this early

How do I buy youre seed

Great outline for success Jeff! Have planted switch the last three years doing your method of proper weed control and have had great results. Doing one more section tomorrow as screening for access and a new kill plot location.

You talk a lot about chemicals, how do I spray buckwheat without killing my switch, or vice versa

Our mistakes is the best teacher I’ve learned that the hard way, I have this 33 acre parcel it’s majority field and the border is open woods, I have a easy to read satellite map to show, but my property is a pass through parcel, I’m overwhelmed on what to try to do to shift his fall pattern into my favor, a nice potential shooter too

First

Your switch grass upkeep is just waaaaay to hard to follow. I won't be able to enroll a university research team to plant some switch. How about a simpler method.
