Glen Cope says combining pasture weed control and fertility in a single application saves time and expense while improving forage production on his family’s southwest Missouri cattle operation.
UltiGraz℠ Pasture Weed & Feed has been called a time-saver and a money-saver. For Cope Farms, it’s both and then some.
“The convenience is just tremendous,” Glen Cope says. “It’s so much easier to go to your local co-op and buy fertilizer impregnated with herbicide. Before, with conventional spraying, we would go back to the house, find a water source, mix up our product, go out and only spray 30 acres — and then repeat the process.”
The concept of One Pass. Better Grass.℠ with UltiGraz also has been an eye-opener for the Copes, a fifth-generation commercial cow-calf operation Glen runs with his brother Matthew, their father O.D. and their families.
“We’re applying fertilizer now on more ground year after year, rather than skipping years, because we see the benefits we get from killing weeds and improving fertility,” Glen says.
UltiGraz keeps pastures clean and improves soil fertility. The resulting increased grass production brings flexibility. Whether you choose to increase stocking rates, stockpile more forage, put up extra hay or extend the grazing season, it’s hard to go wrong growing more quality forage. UltiGraz also helps the Copes improve areas unreachable with traditional boom spray equipment.
“For us, it’s a pride factor, having clean hayfields and raising our cattle on clean pastures,” Glen says.
