No. its an indication of prolong flooding at a level you dont want...
Summer, dry out, mow, smoke with chemical........multiple times
or mow and then flood over to 3 ft deep.........for a long time. Then you will have to worry about lotus.
I think option 2 is a tough call on water depth unless you have COMPLETE control.
Look up this:NRCS Wetland Management for Waterfowl Handbook
Its on the Habitat Resources post... Print it out, its the duck food bible.

And don't disk it! All disking does is chop up the rhizomes and spread it.
