Seems like a lot of examples were of folks not using herbicide at all. I don’t see that being possible down here. We also struggle with the example they recently gave of excessive deer population making it impossible to get the growth needed for the system work.

I, too, like it for the time aspect.

We are committed to giving it a try.

We are going to start roller crimping and continuing to no till drill. Going to use drop tine seeds and considering bringing him in as a consultant. Time will tell but if we can make it work will be a real game changer.

This is not the year to go cold turkey on herbicide if you ask me. You have to snuff out the weeds and in a drought year, it’s tough

Based on my research…..

That’s why those podcasters are seemingly against Regen. It’s not that they don’t want us to be successful….they just don’t want us to come in and fail and waste years due to weeds. They said it becomes too thick without significant browse pressure and weeds for turkey and deer to even travel through. They said they see it all the time.

So, I’d strongly suggest using herbicide the first few years. Heck, even Grant Woods suggests using it at first.
