That Mare's tail is a tough weed to kill. It used to be fairly rare but it has thrived with no-till. Just a little tillage will kill it but it is resistant to most chemicals. Round up used to control it but guys using low rates quickly made the plant resistant to Roundup.
As for your broad leaf control. Roundup never was that great on broad leaf plants. You need to be using something else in your mix for them. I have not planted any soybeans for several years so I don't know the latest names for a residual chemical that is for broad left weeds in beans. I was using Roundup, AMS, 2-4 DB and Ultra Blazer 2L. This mix work very well and had residual action.
You are making a common mistake in your spraying system. Too many guys think that Roundup is the way to go since it had many generic products that are much cheaper. Roundup resistant weeds are very common now so spraying with more Roundup and four times is a mistake. You need to pick better products and maybe spray twice at the most.
Like some others have stated here, if you are no-tilling then you should be spraying in the fall to help with Mare's tail control also.
Roundup is a great product but guys trying to get even cheaper control started to cut rates and spray only once or spraying weed too tall quickly have made resistant weeds common. So now we are back to having to use different modes of action to control the different weeds.
