Tumble weed does look a lot like that picture tho. I've seen enough of the nasty little things in the last few years to last the rest of my life!

Curly Dock or sour dock is what we called it when a cousin and I were rolling the dry seeds in newspaper and smoking it out in an old hog house in the chicken park.
CHUCK. The weed that all your learned weedwhackers was positive was giant ragweed was Horse weed. Also horse weed and mares tail are not even close to being the same weed like it said in one reference. The corn belt has horse weeds to fight on millions of acres of crop land every year. They are exactly the same as the weed in your picture.

Will in In.
I cannot agree with you on the Horseweed. Horseweed has many more leaves and the blooms are not the same as pictured. Are the leaves in an alternate pattern or are they in pairs? alternate = horseweed, pairs = ragweed. We need to get Chuck to measure the height of the weed to assist in the determination.

I think curly dock is it. Good job!
And Will, the leaves are in pairs, and I confirmed with a local farmer that it was giant ragweed.
Perhaps the picture wasnt all that great.

Oh, please keep up the weed naming, folks. I love the "game". Many times we locals call weeds by different names, but so far, I'm doing great. Let's have some more.
