Wayne,
Where is your property?
If it is in Australia it would be a great shame, if economics would force you to
have the pasture, if it is a native one, cultivated for cropping. For here in
Australia, native grassland is the most threatened native vegetation habitat and
with it its native specialised fauna, such as the Plain's Wanderer. Once, dug
in, you'll never get it back and the animals are driven a bit closer to
extinction.
There are post-emergence tillage equipmetns, such as a "Striegel' that take
pretty good care of emerging weeds without damaging the crop too much, if it is
sown at a slightly higher rate.
Regards,
Christiane Jaeger
