For a site prep treatment, more than likely they'll use Chopper instead of Arsenal (same active ingredient). For a release treatment, Arsenal would be used. What does your tract look like now? Has it grown up much, with pines or coppice sprouting? If it's clean, you maybe able to do a release treatment next Spring. The application cost is not much different between aerial vs ground. The cost savings comes from the amount of chemical used.
83% of all statistics are made up.

We never use chopper since it is virtually no savings and way more jugs to the site. The application with the helicopter is a few bucks cheaper but a hand crew does as good a job, maybe better. With varying edges and oaks in the clearcut, hand crew is the only way to go. Cost will depend on what is sprayed and the gallons per acre applied. Our high dollar site preps run $95-100 per acre with Arsenal, Glysophate, metsulfuron methyl and sulfumeturon for good herbaceous weed control both in the spray year and the following spring. Cheaper site prep can run as low as $80 per acre applied. Release, the following spring on loblolly and slash typically will run a little cheaper.

If I remember correctly, my forrester said it would be sprayed next fall then planted next winter. The problem I have, is in the two months since it has been cut, Privet hedge is coming up everywhere. It's creek bottom land and very thick in privet. I would just let it naturally regenerate, that way it gives me a large cut over to hunt for years. But, I'm afraid privet will take over, if I don't spray and plant. What are your thoughts? Spray and let replant, or let it grow up in privet?

If the topography allows it I would site prep spray with a skidder. We do all our tracts with a skidder unless it is steep as all get out or really wet ground. Normal site prep (imazapyr, glyphosate, oust) usually costs us $85/acre. Heavy site prep for pine control (accord xrt, escort, imazapyr) usually runs $110/acre. We leave mast trees and may push some plots on tracts we plan to hunt and the skidder driver can maneuver around them easily. Also, planting (loblolly bare root)should be around $80-$100/acre depending on spacing. Container seedlings are a little more
Also, aerial site prep usually only sprays 15 gallons per acre of solution vs. 25 gallons per acre from a skidder. (More gallons/acre = better coverage because drift isn't an issue)

Anyone have any contact information or should I call someone like county extension agent? Is there any federal or state money/cost share available for doing this?
