I checked with my local chemical guy again and he said that Plateau was no longer available to them. He said BASF also makes another chemical called 'Journey" which has the same active ingredient that Plateau has along with roundup...at a cost of $26.50 per acre. Just like Plateau, it has no grazing hold off and a 7 day haying hold off. Seems pricey, but doing the math, if I could make descent square bales vs. having to round bale due to the Johnson Grass in it, I would more than make up for the cost of the chemical...so, I am seriously considering it.

Since you are from North Texas also...I am from near Iowa Park...some people call this grass johnson grass...it is similar, but most people call it water grass. However, researching it on the internet, I can't quite figure out what it is. It grows in clumps normally in wettest parts of the field, has wide leaves at the base, then the shoot is thin and grows to about 3 ft or so high...and has round, flat sticky seeds on it...do you know what its real name is?? I am at a loss...

I will check out the chemical you reccommended...Thanks Tim
