it about 300 acre sight divided up it smaller paddocks ranging from 30 acres down to 1/4 acre or smaller. small paddocks it does get pulled so its the larger ones we want to spray.

Don’t think any spray will work now as most is flowering, timing is critical with spraying, the best chemical I’ve found is Thistlex it kills ragwort a treat plus your thistles :)
At least you’ll get a good tan pulling 300 acres by hand
