This is widespread in eastern states, except those adjacent to Canada (FNA 25, K). It prospers in hay meadows of Ky. and other areas cut once during May to July. In 1914 Gm noted: "often seen in lawns and along railroads. It has little value at any stage for forage, and should be got rid of by keeping it from seeding, and grubbing it out in late summer." T. flavus may now have increased in farmland managed with machines rather than people.
