Weeds/chicory
Can anyone tell me what chemical would be best to kill all the grasses and weed but spare the chicory. It is a new growth of chic and coming in good. I did a test patch with MCPA Amine 500 and so far the chicory looks good after 2 days but will give it a week and see.

Raptor will work, but its very expensive. Around $600 or more bucks a gallon. If you have a small plot 1 acre or less, then another option would be Slay from WINA. You can purchase 4ozs for $52 dollars or a pint that treats up to 4 acres for $138. You will need a surfactant with those also. These are for broadleaf weeds only.
Clipping/mowing works fairly well on broadleaf weeds, depending on the weed.
The Poast or Arrow is for grass control which IMO is a bigger threat to Chicory.
Chicory is tough, Its been known to survive Round-up/Glyphosate. But 2,4,D will torch it!

Slay is just 2,4,db labeled by Whitetail Institute and marked up in price. A gallon of Butyrac (2,4,db) costs $40, so that’s the more economical way to go. Regardless, it will alsokill your chicory.

What I used the Amine 500 over a week now did nothing to the chicory. If fact the chic grew another 3 inches LOL. The weeds took kicking but not the thistle i was try to get rid off. This stuff is about $ 50/gal and I used .5 gal to 25 gals of water

That is not correct. Pursuit is only slightly less $$$ than Raptor and available by the gallon. So unless you have 10 or more acres, or a friend to split it with, Slay is an option for a small food plotter.
BUTYRAC 200 BROADLEAF HERBICIDE IN ALFALFA & CLOVER - 1 GAL
PURSUIT GRASS & BROADLEAF HERBICIDE - 1 GAL (Same than SLAY!)
RAPTOR GRASS & BROADLEAF HERBICIDE - 1 GAL (Better than SLAY!)
