Wild oats coming again in flooded areas!

Similar to Malee's response, f**k, more litres! You own a sprayer, use it. Wild oats competes so much they can steal half a crop.

HobbyFarmer what are your tricks for dealing with wild oats in a organic crop? Bale the bad patches? Fall rye in rotation really helped us.

I dont have any good answers, just basic old school strategies. Cultivate. Seed late, seed heavy. Plowdown is a year for weed control. So far not bad results. Last years milling oats had .5% - 1.6% fm, most of that was wild oats. I seeded hemp june 18 tilling a third flush of wild oats, 4 days later, hemp is out.....more wild oats as well. Grrrrr.
I have planted fall rye on light land it seemed to help but I am trying to farm less sand .
