Combines Wild Radash

Good grief - wild radish. For goodness sake, don't harvest it AT All. That stuff spreads like poison, and you will be dropping seeds from your header in other paddocks for ages. Can you spray it out to try to "kill" the seeds firstIJ Are the radish plants still green enough to do thisIJ As a last desperate effort, get all the kids and pull all the plants by hand and lay them below cutter bar height. Please please do not put the harvester through without doing something!

I have 20 acres all cut and swathed, can't leave 10 tons of crop on the ground. It is a no-till field, so the buckwheat usually controls the radish well, however this year I was unable to plant immediately following the roundup, the second crop of radish got a little start. The seed is already on the ground, just trying to keep it out of the bin.
