Tangled

Found a few of these little guys today. It reminded me of a wheat field I saw a few years ago. It was early July, the wheat was golden and was covered in vetch that was in full bloom. A beautiful combination of gold, green and purple - would have made a nice post card pic. However, not sure if the guy in the combine thought so. I'm sure he had a few choice words.

Trophy is the herbicide of choice to go after vetch in wheat. A word of caution though, speaking with the NuFarm rep today I found out that Trophy needs at least a min temp of 8C 24 hours before and after to have good control on vetch. A min temp of even 5C could decrease control by 25%.
