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

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

Let it get a little taller and hit it with a weed wiper.
