[QUOTE="casemx 270, post: 4386322, member: 359"] Just a thought really but in 30 odd years of working on farms i think blackgrass has become more of a problem the more farms moved away from a proper rotation such as wheat /rape /wheat /rape and also where farms years ago were more mixed so there was grass and livestock blackgrass didn't become established .I think even short term lays in the rotation in them days would have kept a lid on it .Just my 2p.And years ago everything was ploughed and intensively worked but drilled later in October so chemicals worked better because of moisture. Also we did also to get more frost and harder winters which might have helped. [/QUOTE]
