Sometimes starting again is what you need to do. You can get some lovely permanent wildflower mixes to drill after ploughing. Make sure you spray it off before ploughing or you’ll just plough dock seeds down which will germinate again. We reseeded a very docky, wet field last year and it’s like a different field now (still wet, but that’s a drainage issue). I’ll run away now before the anti plough, anti spray folk start chasing, it’ll give me a head start
It has no other plants growing on it bar some thistles, dock and other grasses. It has been completely over run by the grass in question. Unfortunately leaving it in the past is what has allowed it to spread across the site. The only way to stop it getting worse would be to have it regularly cut low something the landowner doesn't want. Livestock would not be an option.
