ID This Plant?

Not sure if this is going to work but I'm trying to show you all a plant that is growing in a plot I have. It's still green and I have no idea what it is. Where it has grown it covers the area completely. If the pic goes thru I'm curious as to your thoughts. Thank you

Thank you. I assume a weed I should work to get rid of?

It's a Eurasian transplant. It has some food value to bunny rabbits and a few birds, but I've never seen deer browse it. It can become very aggressive in ground that it likes, so not something you would want in a foodplot. Some folks boil it to remove the oxalic acid and use it as a potherb. I would have to be desperately hungry...

Thank you so much Native! I'll eradicate instead of boil!
