And with feed prices at record levels, standing forage is a precious resource for cow-calf and stocker operators. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/pasture-rangeland/weed-control/Kochia-forage-shows-potential-137998468.html Farmers and ranchers know kochia plants, either as weeds, emergency forage, or both.

In some areas of the U.S., we are seeing glyphosate-resistant weeds. One strategy to prevent herbicide-resistant weeds from developing is to get a good kill with all herbicides that are used.
