Panicum gilvum? The reddened stems and slightly decumbent would fit that?

I agree with Panicum sp. Unfortunately I am not familiar with P. gilvum and similar species so I won't likely won't be able to ID this. The key doesn't help as it requires dissection of florets and use of a microscope/ hand lens.

Panicum gilvum was implicated in death of numbers of Eastern Grey kangaroos in the Riverina in April 2014, and again in 2015. Also photosensitivity in lambs.
