Mesquite Spraying
This week on the stiles farm, we started to spray the mesquite brush that were small or not being used a shade trees for cows. AnMarie started in the back 40 acres of the farm that will be used as a wildlife area, while Jimmy and I started in Sanchez, first pasture, and the herzer, where a large part of the area has mesquite. We are spraying the mesquites because the native grasses and plants we want growing won’t have to compete with them for water and space.
