Avoid moving stock from infested to clean paddocks – seeds can survive in dung.

Don’t make hay from paddocks heavily infested with yellow bristle grass or other summer growing grass weeds – the seeds survive in hay. In contrast, yellow bristle grass seeds do not survive in well-made silage and wrapped baleage.
