I don't know what it is but it is a perennial I have seen them for years, especially along the side of the road, and I have quite a few in my back yard as well. If you just want to kill it roundup should do the trick.

As a beekeeper, I'm for responsible torching too. Many chemicals for home use contain high concentrations of neonicotinoids which also kill pollinators - bees, butterflies, etc. Without being preachy, (it's just that I know that not everyone gardens,) without pollinators and pollination, many food source plants will not "fruit," thereby negatively impacting our food supply. For anyone interested, I've included a link from the Xerces Society showing a list of products to avoid.

I think it is Sericea Lespedeza. It is sometimes used for hay or forage for farm animals. It is drought tolerant and will grow where other grasses won't.
