[QUOTE="Shutesy, post: 7560230, member: 316"] In my experience the theoretical usage of gangs of people coming in to rogue blackgrass sounds pretty good but trying to actually organise them to come in is another thing entirely. There is only so many rogueing gangs out there and a hell of a lot of blackgrass and other weeds that farmers want rogued, I'd guess a lot of people will have had rogueing gangs booked up a while ago. If the OP has the option to wholecrop then I would be tempted to do that this year, it'll be a financial hit comapred to taking the 12ac of wheat to grain harvest but probably far better in the long run. Blackgrass will only just be heading and will take another couple of weeks to flower before producing viable seed and a bit longer then for the seed to start falling out when cut so give it a few weeks then wholecrop IMO.
