[QUOTE="rob1, post: 4177860, member: 332"] The perfect timing is to cut it when the seed has set but isnt viable, the plant will then die, too early ie 10th may and it will regrow and very likely set viable seed before second cut, too late 5th june and the seed may well be viable and make matters worse. Then the following crop needs to be DD to stop any new seed coming up, we have had some good results doing this, not 100 clearance but very good, this time we are going to leave it over winter and use spring oats drilled with a good seed rate to see if we can get closer too a clear crop. Need luck with the first cut weather to be able to cut the haylage in that critical two/three weeks period [/QUOTE]
