Nature and minimum till farming had a huge crop of Milkweed on my south 30 acre field [View all]

It is now all showing signs of imminent death 48 hours after it was sprayed

a few tens of plants per acre doesn't seem devastating. And it's curious how last year's still standing corn stubble still standing doesn't threaten the process of harvesting, and separating beans from chaff, but the milkweed does.

I know, I know, If I want the rent to save 17 acres of wetland woods I have to suffer the practices, but this year was really a very bountiful year for milkweed. It was saddening to drive past it
