Weeds have taken over the food plot. We mostly plant a food plot in late August to last through hunting season. It’s a combination of oats, turnips, radishes and clover. Of course the oats, turnips and radishes don’t overwinter but the clover does. We had a decent amount of clover during turkey season. Very wet spring and now weeds have taken over. A friend that lives close to where the plot is at bush hogged it for me today. He said it wasn’t the best job as it was really thick. He plans on hitting it again in a couple weeks. My question is - Is there a herbicide we can use that will kill the weeds but not affect the clover? ![](https://i.imgur.com/tFx4zm7.jpg)

I would mow it and see what happens.

From the internet… “2-4-DB or clethodim is your answer. It's what deer hunters use”

Might try some in the yard with a little clover in it FIRST, and see what happens.

![+1](https://www.ingunowners.com/images/smilies/welcome.gif) for clethodim Would probably be a good idea to mow it again before spraying.

I’ve always mowed my clover when the weeds started growing. If you do not frost seed in the winter clover seems to last me about 4-5 years before I have to start over.
