They don't mix with hay fields well either. I find be it a hay field, pasture or what have you, if you have to cut it, one had best go out in the spring and mark those dens, eradicate, hunt/shoot or what have you. They are about the only thing that really does a number on the disc mower blades around here in otherwise clean fields, which I have reversed and changed when I was helping my farmer friend on his JD disc mower.
