[QUOTE="Devil's advocate, post: 7869966, member: 1504"] We have a lot of fat hen too, but weed spectrums do change over time. 1985 Dad bought a 30 acre block of light land that was full of charlock. Every 5 years we grew leaf brassica & made sure we killed every charlock, also in the cereals & potatoes. But after 20 years charlock became quite rare but it became infested with Shepherds Purse (small plants hiding in the brassica & potatoes. So with a change of herbicide that problem was solved but fat hen now more of an issue. In the 70's Dad got Agronomist out to identify a new rare weed, that weed was cleavers brought in on straw used in our dairy herd at the time. He did not know cleavers because Granddad harrowing the cereals dragged every one out. Blackgrass or Brome has replaced couch grass on arable farms [/QUOTE]
