Got rye grass?

6/19/2020

So me and Amber have been busy this week walking in wheat fields in different counties that have a high population of rye grass in wheat, that have been sprayed with different herbicides and had little to no effect!

In these fields we took a M^2 square made out of pvc pipe and threw in different locations throughout the field! We counted rye grass plants, then cut rye grass heads, took wheat heads to get a moisture reading. After we took a shop vac and vacuumed ground to pick up any fallen seed on ground from rye grass and of course we got some corn residue, some bugs, wheat..

So let's get to the point of this post:

We are looking for some fields in Caldwell or surrounding close counties that have rye grass or had rye grass in there wheat fields and couldn't get rid of it with the herbicides that were applied!

Many growers in the areas we got samples from have some sort of resistance, and we need to help them find a  better course of action or spray plan and some answers, and we want to help you too!

What we need from you:
Location?
What herbicides were sprayed?
Samples? Or we can get them!
How many years with this problem?
Has it been harvested yet?
