Dave, If I remember correctly, several months ago you mentioned having Horseweed in your food plots.


Around here it doesn't sprout until after the soil has thoroughly warmed, usually late May. It can be very hard to kill once it starts sending up a stalk, its somewhat resistant to glyphosate and I seriously doubt Butyrac will phase it once it has sent up a stalk. However, Butyrac should kill it in the seedling stage. The best bet would be to closely monitor your plots early and be ready to spray if it looks like its going to be an issue again this year.

Here is what it looks like as a seedling.



Also, concerning the mowing of the Red clover. This stuff gets huge, knee high or more. Its likely you'll need to go over your plot two times or more in order to get a decent clipping. Raking the excess might be in order also to prevent smothering of the clover.

To give you an idea how big Red clover gets, here's pic of some of mine last year right before cutting, my dog is in the back ground and weights 85#s he isn't short legged either.
