Anyone recognize this stuff growing in my hay field

Greg1959 · Jul 24, 2020

Mustard?

The large leaf stuff in the background is either milkweed or dogbane, can't tell for sure which.

You'll have to get us some closer shots but it sure looks like milkweed to me.

Looks like milkweed to. I have some in my back field.

Possibly hemp dogbane. Need to be a little closer.

Rick, I am from Ohio too and I have been fighting these same weeds for the last 4 years. Hemp Dogbane is easily mistaken for milk weeds and vice versa. I spray them with crossbow usually as soon as they show up in second cutting. They are the nastiest weed around, very hard to control, they have tap roots. Do not let them keep spreading as once they start crowding out the grass they get even harder to get rid of.

Like HD farmer said its dogbane.can I kill it by keeping it mowed short

rick n ohio · Jul 24, 2020

I researched it and it sounds like it's hard to get rid of even by spraying
