Cleaning up volunteers in stubble turnips/rape

Sowed my cover weeks ago and its growing along nicely
However theres a thick carpet of 2/3 leaf barley volunteers
Wouldnt normally mind as the sheep will eat it all but I feel the corn is flying more than the CC
Dont know why but it looks like I've sown 100kg/a of volunteers 🤦‍♂️hardly anything on the floor when combining 🤷‍♂️

Is it worth spraying them out?

fairly cheap spray at about ÂŁ3.50 @acre
Only thing that started bugging me today was the volunteers have rhyncho and worried it will spread to winter barley🤷‍♂️
 
Yes worth it to spray them, as you will get a hit on some grass weeds as well.
