Not Johnson grass - broomsedge. In late May, it's predominately orchard grass, mid - late August, broomsedge. The tall stems came very quickly. I don't think they were present, or at least so visible and seem to have grown 2 ft as the rainy summer started to dry out and with it hot temperatures. The seed heads are what appear to be purple. Later they turn light brown/tan and look like abandoned wheat.
We are slowly taking back these fields - I'm amazed at how much progress we've made. Last August was the first cutting of hay in several years and that first cut yielded a ton of weeds. I hit the fields this spring with 2,4-D and after the first cut, Pasturegard. Hoping to kill off everything and start over at some point.
The leafy hay beneath the stems was VERY thick. We got the first cut just before Memorial Day, and as weak (nutritionally) as these fields are, a steady stream of rain throughout the spring and summer has made for what appears to be a nice 2nd cut.
