Good job, I have good success with Grass out and 2-4-db as well.
I also mow mine 2-3 times a year and spray it with the clover fuel from Antler King.
Like you I hope to get 5+ years out of a plot.
Do you over seed in the winter? I have been considering doing it.

Thank you! We also mow 2-3 times a year. That video will be out next month. I fertilize the plots with what my yearly soil sample says, and I do half the amount in the spring and half in the fall. I do over seed/ Frost seed every winter. It helps thicken anything that might have been thin the year before. My goal is just to do as much as I can for the plot so I don’t have to reestablish the plot for many years.

Does that grass max hurt alfalfa?

[@MidwestOutdoorExperience]

No it will only kill grass weeds in the alfalfa. The alfalfa itself will be safe.

You actually should be using a non Ionic surfactant, you can use dawn but you can get a non Ionic surfactant instead of crop oil.
The crop oil is a surfactant, no reason to use both, surfactant and crop oil. 😂 You can mix Pursuit, and Cethodem together and spray both weeds and Grass, with a non Ionic surfactant.
A surfactant is a soap that helps the chemical to inter the plants. 10 gallons to the acre is recommended spray rate.

Thank you for your comment but so far my fields look immaculate so I’m just gonna keep doing it the way that works for me🙂

@@MidwestOutdoorExperience as long as you don't get nutshedge established in the fields that works but if you ever get it established, 24d, Roundup, and Clethedom become useless. It will take over and ruin a plot in one year.
