I have fields full of the stuff that have previously been cleanish fields and 2 spring crops. And fields of 2nd and 3rd wheat that are clean but where dirty with bg a few year’s ago.
getting the bloody stuff to grow before planting the crop is the hardest thing here on heavy land. Stale seed bed as soon as possible drill as late as possible as much pre em as possible and rouge as much as possible seems to be the best approach for controlling the stuff on this farm. If it hasn’t grown by the time it’s ready to drill don’t drill ! But that’s the hardest bit
