I am with you on that. Neighbor and I both planted alfalfa on plowed ground that had weeds when plowed. Both fields had a good stand of alfalfa along with a good stand of weeds. Before the alfalfa started to bloom I mulched/mowed. I did this every two months. Neighbor let it set until the end of the summer and then treated it to roundup. They plowed it the next summer and kept it worked up the rest of the summer. I was able to have weed free hay all summer. That was four years back and they took the first hay off this last summer.
The Amish in our area had been buying set aside ground, plowing and planting to hay. First years hay with weeds was just mowed before weeds went to seed and let lay. The second year they were able to get good hay. When you plow down weedy field you bring up more weed seeds that will grow.
