Okay, I think I spotted about a dozen weeds that look like Goldenrod
for today, but all their leaves were gone
and had only a brown stalk with flower seed head remaining. Hand
pulled them out with no problem.

What problem I do have is another weed that looks somewhat like
Canadian Goldenrod except that
the leaves are smooth and not serrated. And can grow higher than 6
feet as I witnessed some near the
outbuilding. They can grow as high as the stinging nettle.

So I looked through the weed manual and about the only weed that looks
close to this abundant
one is yellow-toadflax. However these abundant weeds are more often
having a single stem.

I have a hard time of identifying weeds from a picture in a book.
About the only thing that really seems
to work is the height. It says that Goldenrod and Toadflax grows to be
1 to 2 feet. So that eliminates those
two as the abundant culprit in my field.

I looked at pennycress and it grows to be 8 dm tall. Trouble is I do
not know what they meant by "dm".
Is it some form of meter?

So if Goldenrod and toadflax grows to be 1 to 2 feet tall, then they
are not the weed that is abundant.

I think the problem with my books on weeds is that they are hand drawn
pictures and thus never an
accurate picture of the weed in full.

I have a small brochure of South Dakota noxious weeds where they have
taken a color photo. I think the
future trend should be away from these hand drawings (I see no need
for this practice in our modern world
where color photos are available). And this brochure is limited but on
the page showing Purple Loosestrife
if it were a single stem and where the flower was yellow, and since it
reaches 8 feet tall, would be the
best bet of what weed is flourishing in my pasture. The horse never
eats it.

Now my curiousity is peaked so I will have to find out what this weed
is.
