[QUOTE="Serup, post: 8974336, member: 568"] We rotate maize, partly for the reasons you mention. A large part with spring crops makes life easier when it comes to handling problematic weeds. Spring barley, peas and most other spring crops are difficult for me, because cover crops in maize means i can’t touch the soil before march. But i also has grass on heavier ground, and 3-5 years with 5 cuts/year, reduce grass weed problems alot also. problems with resistens grasses is a rising problem in most areas in dk now, but it’s easier for me, than for the farmers who need as much grain/ha as possible. I have a neighbour who has asked a few times, if i would grow maize for a few years on some of his fields, because then can’t do anything about resistant italian ryegrass and it is very bad. But he want full price on rent, so untill now i have passed. This year he didn’t combine some of it, because it was only grass. I had almost clean wheat, in the field next to it, because i had 4 years with grass and one with maize before. It really help alot. [/QUOTE]
