We aren't even in a bad area for it, it had a pre-em and yet:

Anything not rouged now will have grandchildren by harvest?!
 
Yes, but on ear already will see another flush by harvest?

And most of the wheat didn't get a pre-em.... worried this could be the year we lose control of BG

You will see what there is by harvest because the crop will keep out anything else germinating once the canopy is any size. Give it a couple more weeks and you will see if anything else emerges from the canopy but you could be on to a winner if you can only find the odd plant.

Being doing some blw and t0 before the rain, can see the effing stuff growing out of the cracks in a few places. 20% has had horus about a month ago which has done average control nothing else has had any grass weed control. Lots of money being saved here this year and little bg yet but plenty of time for nature to show me who's the boss.

The black grass I am finding in WW is from the top of weathering clods. All had pre-em but no follow up. None rolled in the autumn
I am relatively pleased with control this season, but it is far from perfect.
