I've heard that said before. I bet there is another name. Can't find anything ... yet.

I can go take a picture of some on the fence line of my neighbor's pasture but I think this is it. If not, it's close. It has like a white powdery substance.

Amaranthus, pig weed.

If you really want to kill some doves, and be legal:

Clip your pasture as low as you can and bait it like hell with corn from about mid July until mid August. Keep the grass clipped real short, or even burn it off. Two weeks before sept first STOP spreading corn and spread wheat. Now you have to watch the weather, hopefully it won't rain and about a week out, disc the field and spread wheat. As long as there ain't no piles of wheat or ANY corn, you'll be fine. This way you don't have to be a farmer, spending all this money on raising a crop that may or may not produce. But like I said, make sure all the corn is gone.

Sounds like a good plan. I'm planning on planting this week, and then bushhogging some lanes the week of the hunt. Also disking some of the ground. I may start putting some corn and bird seed out now and get them used to finding the plot.

Any co-ops around Baton Rouge/Ascension?

Can't do that in LA. Well you can, but you better not get caught. LSU extension will set the recomended date for when you can plant winter wheat. The date will be sometime in Oct. You can spread all the wheat you want prior to that date, but you can't legally hunt over it. This is according to a converstion I had last year with Kash Shriever, our resident Federal possum cop.

AlxTgr, I pulled this weed this morning. I am 99% certain THIS is your plant. I am not sure what it is.

Name that plant and you've solved your riddle.

Nah brah, we know what goatweed looks like. Got is all over my MiL's pasture. I've even eaten the seeds before. He's talking about a much smaller black seed.

Wooly croton or something like that is the fancy scientific name.

The one thing we know it's not is goatweed. Wooly Croton does not mature in time, and it much larger. These black seeds are tiny.

i think we need to save the seeds from some craws this year and plant them. Maybe toss them in that landscape architect's well manicured lawn over in Chuck Park. See what comes up.

I need to call them. They are a feed store, and I don't know if they sell seed. I'm about to call them, Sacs, and Old Time. They all close at 5, which is when I get off of work.
