[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 8065423, member: 192"] See attached. We think ……… but not 100% sure yet that a combination of delayed direct drilling winter wheat to November, then planting stubble turnips to be grazed hard by sheep, before returning into direct drilled spring wheat is working. We are using a pre-em as per the attached. Also use high seed rates minimum of 250kg/ha and go upwards. We tried and given up on rotational ploughing. Early drilling is a big no no in our experience. We’ll also desiccate winter wheat prior to harvest if needed and then spray off anything left after the sheep in the spring. We also have a field that went into grass for 5 years now back into winter wheat. We won’t know if it’s worked till June time though. My overiding feeling though is if you’ve got it bad and to avoid the hassle and cost of fighting it you should just direct drill continuous spring barley maybe using a cover crop inbetween for a very long while and build your farming system around it to be a very low cost structure and a part time job.
