Feed grains and weed seeds.

15 years ago

It seems that unless feed grains are steamed to make pellets like Alfalfa they would contain lots of weed seeds. Anybody know which grains would be the least likely to be weed infested. Wheat corn , alfalfa meal and extruded soy are the most economical feeds here?

I have had zero weeds resulting from SBM applications. Cracked corn results in a few whole kernels of corn sprouting. Just pull or mow them down and they are gone. From my experience, no need to fear weeds growing milled grains. Soybean meal gives the most bang for the buck.

I don't see much more than soy growing in soy fields. RU Ready you know.
