Say it Ain't So: No-Tiller Uses Moldboard Plow Against Marestail

August 19, 2022

YouTuber Olive66FarmBoy recently performed a custom moldboard plow job for his client on a field with a serious marestail problem.

According to the video narrator, the weeds survived both Enlist and Roundup applications, leaving him to believe his only option was to plow.

What would you do in a similar situation? Is there anyway to avoid plowing ground with weeds that won't quit? If you wouldn't plow, what would you do? As resistance increases and herbicides become harder to obtain, is this the grim future?
