Default orange grass

Usually occurs here when the cool season grasses don't get a hot spell
to go dormant and just grow and grow and grow . Solved by tossing on
some cheap fertlizer.

I've seen this: orange grass.

I googled it, and apparently it's "rust".

Trying to think of what might be different this year to cause it.
Only thing I can come up with is that we let the grass grow a little
taller this year before mowing. We live out in the country and have
about 2 acres to mow.

Anybody have any experience with this?
