K-State Research and Extension

At an upcoming field day, farmers and ranchers can see the results of different herbicide treatments to control honey locust trees in pastures.

In 2012 and 2013, treatments were made to almost 400 thorny locust trees in a pasture to test which products and treatments yielded the best results. Both tests were evaluated for two consecutive years to see if re-sprouting of trees occurred.

View the results on Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the field day that begins at 6:30 p.m. and concludes around 7:45 p.m. The site is located approximately 6 miles north of Hays at the intersection of U.S. 183 and Locust Grove Road, which is 1 mile south of Buckeye Road on the west side of the highway.

If time allows, discussion on yucca control and musk thistle also will be presented.

No RSVP is necessary. Refreshments will be provided by K-State Ellis County Extension Office. For more information, call (785) 628-9430.
