ragweed in new seeded hay field

dimanche 12 juillet 2020

Seeded a 12 acre field in mixed hay,alfalfa,timothy,clovers and a few other varieties.The field was used by a neighbor last year and was in corn.Field was a little dry when I seeded with a brillion. Seeded a little on the heavy side. Of course after the seed was planted,no rain for nearly a month.Finally a little rain and the field began to green up.Checked it today and I have one hell of a ragweed crop.Ragweed is between 2 to 8 inches in height.I had a similar problem in a smaller field years ago,not as much ragweed,so I cut,raked and baled it when it matured.Not the best solution,but it worked out.This year the ragweed is thick and chocking out the hay.Any ideas how to save this hay field other than spraying and re planting. Is there any herbicide that could safely be used that would only target ragweed?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks  Dan
