Elaine,

You bring up a good point about clopyralid. I wish they would ban that
product! It's frequently okay for farmers to use clopyralid on their hay to
control weeds, but when they bale the hay who knows where the bales end up?
A local garden store perhaps? And then a CTer buys a bale or a gardener
uses the hay for mulch in their garden and one can kiss those broad leaf
garden plants goodbye! Where clopyralid is used, there's frequently rules
for who can apply the product and there should be rules for what can be done
with the hay treated with the product. But I sometimes wonder how good
those rules are when hay passes through different parties hands?
How can we protect our selves from clopyralid? Is there a simple (meaning
inexpensive test) that can be done?

There is also a protozoan inoculum available from holmes enviro_at_attbi.com
for folks who don't want the trouble of making the hay infusion.

Remember to make sure the hay has not been treated with clopyralid!
