[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 9274695, member: 55822"] be careful NUM3 can be cut to control grass but baling it may be a breach. they would argue for topping to deliver the same results but return the plant matter to the land. if they deem the baling to be a breach you could lose all of the payment on it for that year. they are more likely try to force chemical control of the grass and not, allow you to, top or cut the num3 cover, yes this has been done to farmers my agronomist walks for. they deemed the grass to prevalent and forced him to chemically control it. I would advise you get proper advice about how you should control your ryegrass, also timothy and cocksfoot are not hard grasses to control, and can often outgrow other grasses, which is why they were suggested for blackgrass control. as for spring sowing this late, of num3, you will have to pray the weather is kind to it. it can be very hit or miss it only takes a few hot dry days went its small to lose it, just like grass. if you can irrigate it, then the risks are far lower. saying that if the current trend continues then it will be fine.
