Yeah I already bush hogged it curiosity got me wondering what it is I'll be prepared next year. It's a stem plant with a single sticker ball on top with spikes all around the base of the ball.

That is Teasel. It can become a problem because it may become invasive. Phenoxies will control.

Hard to tell by the picture, but looks like Jimson weed to me. Leaves will resemble stinging nettle. I always heard Jimson was poisonous too. A lavender/light blue/whiteish flower on each stalk branch before the pods start developing.
I have one small area by my loafing shed that a plant or 2 comes back from the first year I had one appear and didn't get it cut down or sprayed early.
Inside each of those spiny ball looking seed pods are about 100 little bitty black seeds.You'll have a bumper crop next year. 2,4d will kill it in early growth stage.
other names for it:
Jamestown weed
Thorn Apple
Downy Thornapple
Devil's Trumpet
Angel's Trumpet
Mad Apple
Stink Weed
Tolguacha

It's leaves are a hallucinogenic too.
