I know Weyerhaeuser will spray and nuke everything after they clear cut a tract but does anyone know how long they wait to spray? They just finished up at one of my stands and I’m wondering if it would be worth it to just broadcast a couple bags of soybeans and clay peas over a few acres. Wouldn’t plant till it warms up a bit though. Wonder if there’s anyone with Weyerhaeuser I can call that may be able to provide an approximate time frame when they spray after clearing. Thanks!
Might be a stupid question but if the plants survived to make pods/beans and then they sprayed, the beans would still be there for deer to consume right?
I know that’s a whole lotta “if’s” but it might work I’d assume. I’ll look and see how clean the area is and if I think it’s worth it.
Spraying would usually be August to October. If I suspected they were going to spray, I would probably skip any planting and focus on getting some gravity feeders for the forage-less desert that was about to come.
I don’t think it’s such a bad thing. It gets rid of a lot of the undesirable stuff and the briars and honeysuckle will come back strong. Normally the browse comes back to following spring/summer
The old plot that's in there is actually kinda small, I thought about getting a few roles of visqueen and covering the plot if I knew when they would spray.
