Pasture spraying

Pasture spraying covers ground rigs and airplanes that treat brush, sericea lespedeza, thistles, and other weeds. A pasture already full of big cedar is usually a clearing job, not a spray job. Small cedar and a lot of broadleaf brush can be sprayed. The product, the rate, and the weather limits are on the label.

Kansas requires a license to apply pesticides for hire. Some names are here because a public record shows a Kansas pesticide business license. Where that record did not say they spray pasture, the service line says pasture work is not confirmed. Call and ask before you book them.

Questions worth asking

• Do you spray pasture, or mostly crops?
• Ground rig or airplane?
• Are you licensed as a pesticide business in Kansas?
• What are we treating, and which product do you plan to use?
• Who supplies the chemical?
• What wind or weather shuts the job down?
• How do you keep spray off the neighbor, trees you want to keep, gardens, and water?

HirePlains does not recommend products or rates. That is the applicator's job, from the label. "Cat 1" on a listing is a Kansas commercial pesticide category, not a rank.
