Herbicides are not necessary but are benificial in many cases. Remember they are just a tool to help improve your crop. And I should add they are nothing to be afraid of if used according to directions. It has been our experience that without them we have never raised a thing. We probably could if we wanted to invest in a cultivator plus a lot of other expensive equipment. But that is hard to do for just a few acres of food plots.

In other words, if you have a problem that herbicides or pesticides will help correct, use them responsibly. There is no danger from them when used correctly but can be a big reward in the outcome of your project.
