Invasive weed
 
Has anyone here who manages a food plot ever had any experience with a weed called Hairy bitter cress? It is a weed that shoots seeds all over the place with the slightest touch. We have found a couple of patches of it on my club grounds in our CRP fields and we need to get rid of it. When the dogs run into it it shoots the seeds right in their face and eyes. Here is a video of the seeds shooting from the plant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqwn2d1WIvA

That is some nasty stuff that would definitely play havoc with a dog trying to get through it. I've never heard of it and hope you can find some stuff that will get rid of it and not hurt any of the other plants in the field.

Yeah, I never saw it before I had to go to google to findout what it is. I am going to call the farm extension office this morning and see what they have to say.
