[QUOTE="Honest john, post: 2525692, member: 1026"] What I am & most others also are finding it hard to come to terms on. Is that we need to rub along & make friends with this weed or made big changes. I see around me most farmers making changes but not the big changes required. In real BG country like west of Cambridge all the little things were tryed, a few years back & now the bigger changes are happening. Continuous Spring Barley, Sugar Beet on heavy land where band spraying can do a fair job. Spring cropping on ground not best suited to it. Wide rows & band spraying. What about growing Barley or Mustard in with the beet & spraying out, to out compete the BG. Are the sprays even worth buying now ? only 2 pre eme's are having a fair go at it now. We have to face facts a lot of BG is just srugging off any amount of Chemicals. So no I haven't beaten weed , & short of Grassing it down I think we have to live will it for now. [/QUOTE]
