Right, I don't know why this plant threw me off so much, but I do believe it is a hackberry plant. We have tons of them in our experimental field. And to clarify, this is for a job and not for a class assignment. My supervisor is aware that I am using other resources to help identify these plants. I apologize for the image quality and angle... there isn't always time to take decent photographs in the field. Thank you all for your help!
