[QUOTE="ploughman1963, post: 7042749, member: 165"] Try farming organically - we find we are managing them reasonably well by using multi-cut silage , cutting every 4 weeks, and rotational grazing and premowing - 18 to 24 day rotation. When we get caught Out is drought. The docks run to head before the grass grows which means we do get them heading. our reseed policy is winter oats, stubble turnips and undersown spring barley. The oats depress the amount of docks due to the density of the canopy - we find dead dockplants. We get docks germinating in the turnips but the sheep hammer those. We get them coming back in the spring barley but not strongly and then the regrowth is into rotational grazing or multi cut silage. We have learned to live with them , tolerate them and manage them as best we can - Certainly I don’t think they adversely affect our grass production. [/QUOTE]
