There is another plant blooming now though, we call them “yellow tops”. It’s taller with clusters of small yellow daisy like flowers.
That’s what we call them too

Yellow tops are what i was referring to as ragwort
More than likely what would be growing down there as it’s more of a wetland type plant

Now how would you know this, OP didn’t include a photo or or closeup of the flowers. So I’m only speculating as well
cause I live here and these things are everywhere. Of course I'm not certain, but why should that stop me from sounding like I know what the hell I'm talking about.
They also have been the bane of my existence every spring. they choke out the good grass I want.
I want to say these are wild mustard or Yellow Rocket.

OK, yeah probably.

These photos were taken outside my office building (cattle pastures) a few years ago in spring and identified by Dr Ron Strahan, weed control specialist/professor, LSU AgCenter as buttercup.
I contacted Dr Strahan earlier this morning with the OPs original post to ask what his opinion on the OP was seeing in bloom this time of the year in these open fields full of yellow flowers, on Hwy 90 between New Iberia and Morgan City, and he unequivocally stated buttercup, a broadleaf winter annual. He also said buttercup is a heavy seed producer and highly sensitive to 2,4 D.
That’s all I got guys.

I've never known that as butter cup. What we called buttercup is actually a primrose.

Yeah that’s the problem with common names especially with coonasses. They have a different common name for everything
The yellow flower in question is either Ranunculus most often called buttercups or Packera formerly Senecio probably P.glabella often called ragwort, butterweed, or yellowtop. Both very common annuals in fields
The pic craw dude sent is definitely Ranunculus but the OP could very well have seen the other. Both are in the area just depending on conditions

Do all of these mentioned bloom in January? That should be one of the easier tells.

Same for me as a kid growing up. In fact, when I had Dr. Strahan iD the yellow flowers a few years ago as buttercup, there happened to be some primrose growing nearby that I knew as buttercup, so I had to take a photo of them and have Dr. Strahan ID it and that’s when I learned what I had always known as buttercup was actually primrose.
Pretty good weed ID guide from Arkansas Weeds of Arkansas.

ain’t that the truth. Deal with that all the time with fishes. A crappie will always be a sac-a-lait to me given my upbringing, and I was probably 10 years into my professional career before I heard others call them white perch - just give me the genus and species, and I’m good. .

Ron Cheramie is correct
"Packera glabella"
is def what it is, in my hayfield and coming in my ryegrass pasture every year past 40 years
There is some ranunculus too, but the OP seeing "Packera glabella" in cane fields
