Pasture reclamation is a long process. You can;t get rid of every undesierable plant in just a year or 2. You need a multi year plan. First fertility, second weed control, third reintroducing the desireable stuff. The herbicides that control broadleaf weeds also control broadleaf desierables. Unless you use glypohosate you won;t harm the grasses, which in itself can be a problem if the undesirable is a grass.
With any amount of acerage you can;t correct all the patures at the same time, money rears it's ugly head when you try. You can either start with your worst or your best and get that right, then move on to the next. We hit a pasture really hard to get a good handle on it and just throw a lick and a promise at the others, jusat enough to keep them from getting much worse.
