[QUOTE="steveR, post: 6702924, member: 66976"] UInless it has changed in the 15 years since I used to grow (a lot) of it, then No. It is an absolute barsteward to deal with as the plant starts the "retting" process and becomes even more like a mile and half of pig netting... I abandoned one crop one year as I was getting the area payment and the actual price for what seed was left was barely going to cover the combining costs!! Getting rid of it was also a pig, I could not get the Browns straw chopper/flail to top or cut it. In the end, I did a couple of passes with heavy discs which didn't really chop the stuff much as it was too wet underfoot, but the rolling process helped to get it ploughed under.... eventually. The bonus was the standing crop in the field provided food for thousands of small birds!! [/QUOTE]
