Went today to spray around the feeders and a corner that had grown up in Johnson grass.
Usually a covey of quail and some pheasant in that corner, but the Johnson grass took it over. Sprayed half of it with glyphosate, then I’ll take the brush hog over and mow the rest, leaving some strips for cover.
Going to have to kill it off completely next spring and then do it over and over all summer to kill the latent seeds that will sprout.
Then get some bluestem seed and other seeds that are good habitat for upland birds to put back in there.
Going to miss a season or two of bird hunting it, but it will come back.
