I think it would be a good idea to mow it and keep it from making seed, but I don't think you will get rid of the seed bank. It shouldn't be a problem in a winter crop; cold weather kills it.

I have raised the bush hog and given the sicklepod a haircut before to keep it from shading out chufas. It will close the canopy over them and you won't make anything if that happens.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
