How do farmers keep grass out of field?

Posted by BobReeves on October 02, 2017 at 08:49:38 from (70.184.18.62):

last fall I plowed under an acre of grass, this spring I tilled, sprayed twice with roundup and tilled it before planting sunflowers. Sunflowers did well but now all dead. Just mowed everything down and the durn grass was at least a foot tall. It looks just like it did before I plowed it under last fall.

How the heck do farmers keep a field from returning to grass?

My plan is to till it which should grind up what stalks the mower didn't crunch but that will only slow down the grass growth. Do I need to spray it 3 or 4 times a year or what.
