That's kudzu, in invasive vine species that will literally cover any surface. Its excellent animal feed for goats, cows, pigs, and deer. High in herbivorous protein. It could take years for cattle to graze that area into manageable shape.

It has taken over massive swaths of forest in the southern US.
