[QUOTE="JAB, post: 7124701, member: 116016"] [USER=801]@martian[/USER] I am pretty sure my word “conquered” was over-dramatized through autocorrect. Meant “controlled.” My desire would be to visit farms where annual grassy weeds are being controlled (where they once were very problematic) through a system’s approach, and ideally it would be great to visit a researcher or two who have worked specifically on that topic as well (if there are any). We have several annual grassy weeds that are becoming herbicide resistant, and some are resistant to all modes of action that could have been effective- mainly ryegrass, but also downy brome and rattail fescue. This is mainly due to crappy rotations that are basically a wheat monoculture. Researchers here have been focusing on mechanical means of weed seed destruction, tillage, burning, and other etc. means that don’t require growers to take a systems approach, and which forfeit conservation ag principles. I have been researching rotation solutions to these problems, but need some more out of the box thinking, hence why I’m interested in visiting any U.K. farms/researchers that have things to teach on this. Also - it would be a great excuse to get to know some of you. That’s really what I’m after, and if you or other farmers you know might have something to offer in this regard, let me know. Thanks again, Jeremy [/QUOTE]
