2-4D on winter rye

[Nova]

I have a little bit of new growth ragweed popping up in my newly planted rye, mostly in bare spots. The rye is about a month old. I can hit that with 2-4D correct since rye is a grass, and not hurt the rye?

Yes, you can. I hate when people force an opinion on someone, but you may be ok just leaving the ragweed, as far north as you are. It's about over for the year. Deer love ragweed!

I agree with Swat, but if you do spray it, make sure you put new seed in those bare spots. Mother nature will make something grow there.
