Questions about herbicides for hayfields

One field in particular is loaded with bedstraw and plantain. A friend has recommended spraying it with Crossbow. I have done a little reading on it, and Dow recommends that it not be used on forage that is to be cut and sold for commercial purposes.

I plan to sell the hay off that lot. Am I opening myself up to possible problems and liability? My neighbors use Crossbow and they sell the hay off their treated lots.

Is Dow's recommendation just legalistic boilplate, or is there a more tangible reason for this claim? Should I be using a different product?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Still cant sleep on my right side and EVERYTHING is awkward to do (still 'supposed' to use a sling). Got to get the tractors all done before the bone cutter goes to work (I am cheating and have a couple of day laborers working for me to do all the lifting and wrestling of the tractor parts so I mostly just supervise). They want to rework the shoulder, not real sure about that. I used to play baseball and have had it operated on once already (it was my pitching arm), lost my fastball when they did it the last time.

Trying to balance repairs, shoulder surgery, and winter feeding. Need to have any medical stuff done before the new health plan at work kicks in, have to be recovered before I need to feed, and got to get the major repairs done. Too much to do, too little time.
