Planted some clover, as well as a forage mix... What is the tall plant above the clover? I sure have a lot of it.
What do I have here?

Looks like ragweed to me.

Rotated the picture...
Sorry, the photo looked fine on my phone... on the computer the rotation not only sucks but it's blurry!
Ragweed makes sense, I have mature ragweed for sure mixed in... I am SHOCKED how much of it there is though. It looks like I could have planted it. Spent a lot of $$ on seed this year, will have to see if mowing puts me into good shape or what.

It was probably in there before you planted. If you disturb the soil (till, drag, etc...) its enough to get the dormant seeds to sprout.

We planted soybeans onetime, about 40 years ago and had a better stand of jimson weed than soybeans. The land had been in pasture for a long time before that. My dad talked about logging a piece of land and clearing it. They worked the land to plant corn and before they planted they saw that it had a good stand of cover so they left it and cut it for hay. Some seeds last a long time. Ed

hahahaha yep, ragweed in any orientation is still ragweed. I'm not allergic to the stuff, but feel for you. No fun.
Hiltz, I was thinking about that since it's the tallest weed there... might give that a shot. Menards has a reasonably priced wiper, I would probably do two next to each other.
I am horribly allergic to just about everything, but I'm sure ragweed is up towards the top
I got mine from Rodgers sales a couple of years ago (kit form) and love it. I too planted clover and the wiper does an excellent job of getting rid of unwanted weeds.

Anyone got a link to those wipers? I've been thinking of getting one.
Rodgers Sales Co company in Lyon Ms is where I got mine. Its in kit form an you simply buy a piece of pvc pipe and some glue, layout the position of the holes and drill away. The kit has excellent instructions. I did find it better to drill the pvc pipe with a step drill. It does the job a lot easier and cleaner. I also added quick attach brackets for my wiper as I wanted to run my wiper from my bucket arms. It is a lot safer to get close to fence posts with the wiper in front and you can also curl the wiper putting the wicks facing down causing more roundup to be applied.

To me too. We have a nice patch of it in the field we just reseeded.
Hmmm, might have to setup one of those if ours comes back.
