Is this nut sedge?

Got about 15 acres of low lying ground. Seems like this is taking over the field, been really bad with this year being wet. What should a person do?

It does appear to be yellow nutsedge. Pull one, the stem should be triangular. Nutsedge likes wet feet, I wouldn't worry about it too much, on a dry or average year you won't see much of it.

Been seeing more and more of it every year. Really rank stuff in the spring and the cows don't seem to eat it.

I was reading, Permit will take care of it in a grazing situation. I always have some in low lying areas, but never enough to be a problem. Is your 15 wet all the time?

It is bottom ground and is fairly wet but fescue normally grows good on it.

I've got it in my yard this year. I've never had there before. Must be a good year for the stuff.

I think you all have been as wet or wetter than we have this year, so I'd say yes to that. Does it have kind of a sweet smell you mow it?

I haven't noticed, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Yep. Yellow nutshedge. Permit will wipe it out in a corn field. Once you have it, you will always have it...
