Wire grass? I've never heard of such a thing. Can you explain what this is in more detail?

i dont know another name.its more of a marsh land grass that grows in clumps and spreads into good pasture land.cows wont eat it.it round like little tubes and i think its pretty common in washington state.??
is it hollow and jointed? It sounds like equisetum, also known as scowering rush or horsetail. If this is the plant it has a very high silica content and it was used to scower pots by the pioneers, therefore the name.
Does this look like the plant?
its hollow and has no joints,looks like chives but stiffer.
