UF are you going to mow and throw where the goat weed is? I ask because I am planning a to put a food plot similar to yours in an area over run with the stuff. Should I spray, throw and mow or spray, disc, throw, drag? I really like the idea of the throw and mow but since this will be my first food plot in this location I want to start of correct. Waiting on my soul test results now. North part of Anderson county sandy ground.

I want to try some kind of clover this year. Last year was my first plot with oats/wheat/turnips and chicory.
They did not touch the turnips all year and VERY little on chicory.
I disked and use a grain drill. I will not be disking this year, just need to find a sprayer of some kind to kill, then mow and then use the grain drill.
A handheld sprayer would be too much for 1-1.5 acre plots.
I will be following along

10-4. One of my issues will be that the farmer puts his cows back the property to eat down all of his hay fields before he plants in the spring. So I'm think I probably won't have much of a thatch since the cows will probably eat that to. Then the goat weed should come right back during the summer. I just wasn't sure if the goat weed itself would make a good thatch?

Takes a while for them to figure out what the turnips are about. A couple years. They eat mine pretty good now but I mostly plant them to build the soil. Chicory they eat in the spring. Weird they didn't hit yours much.

Want to try a clover maybe.
I have a decent amount of goatweed.
UF: If I plan on grain drilling, should I spray and then 10 days later shred and then grain drill? Or what would you do? I am spraying/shredding in hopes of building thatch to improve the soil. Disking caused too many weeds last year

Does it give a true 10 foot spray?
