Herbicide

This afternoon, while there were scattered clouds it didn't look too threatening for rain and the radar looked good, so I decided to go ahead and spray herbicide along the string electric fence in the swamp area of the oak tree field.

I made up 100 gallons of triclopyr broadleaf herbicide in the Fiat spray rig and pumped 12 gallons into the ATV sprayer mounted in the Gator.  Earlier I had sprayed those portions of the fence where the Fiat could go without sinking.

I  was about 3/4 done when the fuse blew on the electric sprayer pump.  By the time I was back to the barn,  a stray thunderstorm cell had bubbled up and it started raining.   Well, I found a fuse that solved the pump problem, then went up to the house to sit out the rain.  Maybe some of the herbicide will stick, I got stuck like this once before and the herbicide seemed effective,  depends how much gets absorbed before the rain hit.
