[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1848009, member: 43107"] Took the hand sprayer to the 14 acre hay field yesterday evening. Rye grass is so high and thick, it was hard to walk through - saw little bit of crimson clover over there, too. Being careful around what little clover there was, I sprayed a few thistles, a few pigweeds, and a few coneflowers along with some miscellaneous stuff. Had to make 2 trips to finish it off. It wasn't too far, so I walked. Ended up walking 2.5-3 miles but nailed down the spot spraying pretty good. Nothing left now but to take the hand sprayers to the rehab pasture and spray in the areas that were too muddy to drive the tractor through. Starting to see the first signs of johnson grass in some spots around the edges. Once the rye is baled and the fields start to recover, I can do the big Grazon P+D/Cryder spraying job. This spot spraying the early weeds is a bit of a pain but but seems to be paying off. The big project will be dependent on when the stuff starts coming up that I've been fighting the last couple of years (bitter weeds in grazing pastures & johnson grass and horse nettle in the hay fields). One wet pasture has a bit of hedge mustard - too big of an area to do by hand and too wet for the sprayer/tractor. Maybe it will dry out enough over the next few weeks to get at it...we'll see.
