Huh? mtmuleyCan’t start something you never stopped.
Not my thing. I think I smoked it 2 or 3 times in 58 years. mtmuleySaw the title and thought you were gonna start smoking the devils lettuce @mtmuley.
This is hay field. Cut two times a year. mtmuleyPlantain is a problem in compacted soils and after short mowings. Mow a little longer, aerate your grass.
Reach out to your county cooperative extension office and they will help advise you (you can look up the Montana State, Penn State, Iowa State, CSU and other extension office websites to assist you). I use 2-4D since it is pretty easy to kill when you stay after it.This is hay field. Cut two times a year. mtmuley
Well you're not going to find that online. Seek out your county extension agronomist so they can most likely tell you 24D is the easy solution and safe on grassI have 5 acres to deal with. I want someone that knows what they are doing to look at my situation. mtmuley
Do NOT do this in your field @mtmuleyRM43 Glyphosate concentrate. I use it on my lease with poison ivy and other highly aggressive weeds. I also use it around the house for weed control.
Takes about 2 weeks but it absolutely does the job. Spray and walk away.

Spectracide is just a more expensive way to purchase 2,4-DCheck the label? Or send us a picture?
This would do it. Safe on grass if you follow the directions mainly on temp applied at
Cheap test compared to the weed companies I suppose?
Which makes it a non-use imperative in a grass hay field. Don’t do it.it will absolutely kill everything...
Dimension is an annual grass pre emergent product.I don’t know about that big of a field, but on my lawn Dimension pre-emergent herbicide works well.
You put it down in early spring before the broadleaf weeds sprout. Doesn’t kill the lawn, just prevents weeds from coming up.

From the first application to the last, see why Dimension specialty herbicide is the only choice for preemergence and early postemergence crabgrass control.www.corteva.us
Buckhorn Plantain is a cool season weed so it is best controlled during cooler seasons, recommended application times are fall and spring. Since you’re selling hay that rules out using Highnoon herbicide. You will need a persistent spray program for a couple of years, twice yearly. It is also very likely you will never eliminate plantain, just supress it. 2,4-D ester formulations with a tank mix of dicamba twice a year for two years tamed my plantain problems but it is still present. The rate of 2,4-D ester recommended is very high, 3-4 pints/A. Ester formulations are more effective for weed control but also have a greater risk of volatility drift which makes it more important to apply when temperatures are low which matches spring and fall applications. The addition of Dicamba will also be important. Persistence is key, you won’t kill it with one application. If plantain has been allowed to seed you’ll have a longer term spray program since the seeds are persistent for your lifetime. Having a healthy stand of grass is also very important, competition with weeds is as or more important than a spray program. Grass pastures do need renovation periodically both from a yield and weed control point of view.
