I have a field covered in what I'm assuming is a weed (even the cows won't eat it). It creates suds in the sunlight! It has five-unjoined petaled yellow flowers and leaves that look like mini oak leaves, green on top and greyish-white on the bottom. Any ideas, as I'd like to get rid of it and grow some grass!
Thank you!

If you could post a picture of the plant, that would really help to identify it better. Lots of very knowledgeable people on this forum willing to help.

I'm guessing the "suds" are likely spittlebug and nothing to do with the plant itself.

Chelidonium majus is one of the most common weeds in my garden. Your description fits except for the five petals. If broken, the stems exude a staining orange sap. But I'm not sure this celandine occurs in America. Possibly you have an American relative?

go to www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A812828 and see if this is what you are seeing on your plant.

Celandine poppy, Chelidonium majus is quite commonly grown in gardens here, although I'm not certain if that fits the color description of the leaves (the shape may fit, possibly)...
