These prices are for current chemical inventory and are subject to change when we replenish our supplies. If you still need to purchase chemicals for you own application, stop in the store and stock up.
- Fertilizer is still reasonable compared to prices last year. Current demand will keep the pricing where it is, but as nationwide demand increases, the pricing will start to increase. Come and get it, while pricing is good.
- I know it seems early, but now is the time to get on our list for Mesquite Spray. We should be looking for a late June to early July application with a good healthy plant. If you are interested in having us spray, please do not shred or weed spray over the mesquite plants before we make the herbicide application. Current chemical and application cost for 28oz of Sendero and 8oz of Remedy is $45.82/Acre.
- We have received a lot of questions about thistles this year. They seem to have come out of nowhere with a vengeance. Most of these are at the final stage of their life and are putting on a seed pod or flower bloom. There is not much that you can do at this stage of their life to kill them. Your best option is to save the money and plan to start looking for them in January/February of next year.
In the Animal Pen
