FIFY

Are you talking about these?

Butterweed

Yea that's it. Awesome for doing doughnuts in.

Have a few acres in low spots that it's thick in

My grandfather used to cook those just like mustard greens. I remember eating them as a kid in California. They were good!

Without any more of a description, it's hard to say. My first guess would be Butterweed (Packera glabella). Butterweed becomes prominent in spring (I associate it with turkey season), and shows up in ditches and low lying areas across south Louisiana. It is especially prevalent in bottomland hardwood forests in the basin (Indian Bayou is covered up with them).

That winter cress looks like another plant I see in the ditches around the house, although I've never looked it up to be sure. Possibly Barbarea vulgaris? It is described as a plant that favors wet areas. I see it growing along side butterweed in places.

ETA: did not see your response that it was the winter cress.

I think you're correct. I remember them turning the tractor tires yellow when we were breaking bean ground.
