Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
I've got an 80 that used to have a drain ditch through the middle of it. A new drain was dug on the side, and the old one filled in. Since then, there has been Jim Hill mustard on that old line. I'm 37, was filled in when I was really little, maybe 5. So for 30 years that stuff has been coming back. Can't ever remember it going to seed, and am positive it hasn't in the last 18 years due to crop (alfalfa mostly). Every time it gets worked up there is a good fresh crop of it coming along that old drain line.

I doubt I'll ever see it go away. We also get a fair amount of regular mustard, even in the middle of fields. I can't see it getting blown out that far, and the ditches are loaded with it, but you wouldn't think it would be that heavy even out in the middle 1/4 mile from the ditch. Make a skip with the winter Sencor application and you'll see how thick it is though.
