Default Rhubarb going to seed?

Hi Group,

My productive rhubarb has thrown up a large seed head, which has raised the
following questions.
1. Should it be removed and how?
2. Is it safe to keep harvesting the crop?
3. Is this a sign that the root needs splitting ( its been there for years)
4. Could it be overfed? (its growing next to the compost bin and gets a
regular supply compost leaching.

Please can anyone advise me on this.

Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply.


David.
