Snowy be happy with the grass. Every time a fire burns through more noxious weeds appear along with an abundance of thistle.

We burn a lot of native grass around here. Talk about a hot fire. Drip torches are worth every penny.

I have some rough country that has a lot of grass that hasn't been grazed with domestic animals since God was a boy and been that way since the first native walked this land. Wildlife graze it but it needs to be burned with all the old grass that is in there. I hold my breath each year I never have a wild fire go through there.


Maybe your state forestry agency could give guidance or perform the service. They do here in Ga for a fee to those landowners/managers that don't want to or know how to do it themselves.

I looked at one property today and will look at another tomorrow where "the wind sorta come up on us" and now they are missing some property. I'm a little surprised by their comments as it was blowing a solid 15-20+ mph from day break to dawn, so I'm not sure how the wind could have "come up on us". Gotta love the 1st nice weekend around a full moon, but stuff happens........... crazy

A few years ago the wildlife branch of our dnr did a controlled burn, not very controlled and the fire damaged thousands of dollars worth of already sold timber. That logger was not pleased, and that gal in charge did not get fired over it.

Burning the row in the spring was one of my favorite jobs on the RR.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
