Isn mowing cheaper than chemical weed control?
No. While herbicide treatments vary depending on product, rate applied and application method, our Range & Pasture products offer longer-lasting, more complete results than mechanical control methods. According to Texas A&M University research, mowing costs $12 and $14 per acre per trip – with two trips needed annually on average. Even then, you’re only giving weeds a haircut. Regrowth occurs quickly. Mowing or shredding also carries hidden costs. When forage grasses are mowed with brush and weeds, the grass is unavailable to livestock. Frequent mowing can weaken grass stands, open sod cover and increase weed populations. Mechanical control can also leave ruts, damage turf and increase soil erosion.
