Help....Ragwort in silage ground
We've leased land this year for one cut off silage to feed to dairy cows. There is a fair amount off ragwort appearing in it. Does ragwort cut at this stage of growth affect dairy cows?- Scania143h

What Will Kill Docks And Nothing Else?
Aye-up, I tidied up a rough corner of the yard two years ago. We then kept a couple of pigs on it and last summer I sowed some wild flower seeds on it. It looked nice in the autumn, but now it’s just a mass of docks. What will kill them but leave my wild flower mix? Cheers, Pete.- Cab-over Pete

As I have done for a few years now, I sprayed off a grass field and direct drilled in a forage brassica mix. What I normally do once it's grazed off is, leave it a few weeks and spray glyphosate. Once that's had enough time to work I disc it, sow straight away and roll. This year I am planning...- scrubbuster
