Weed Control for Lanes, Yards & Loading Ramps

Keep High-Traffic Farm Areas Clean, Safe & Tidy This Season

On every farm, there are areas where weed growth becomes more than just a visual nuisance—it’s a safety risk and a time-waster. We’re talking about farm lanes, gateways, loading ramps, yards, and drain edges.

These non-crop zones are prone to moss, algae, and stubborn broadleaf weeds, especially in winter. If left untreated, they become slippery, hazardous, and harder to maintain over time.

Here’s how to clean them up efficiently using SpraySmart products—stocked right here at Sprayshop.

🚜 Where You Should Be Spraying

- Raceways and driveways – especially those with stock movement

- Yards, holding pens, and around the woolshed

- Loading ramps and concrete pads

- Drain edges and culverts

- Around sheds, water tanks, silos, and pump sites

- Fence lines and hard-to-mow corners

These are high-traffic areas that often escape regular spraying—but keeping them clear boosts safety, makes your farm look sharper, and reduces long-term maintenance.
