toddyboman Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well I had one more spot to burn....and after last weekends nitemare...I elected to get more help this weekend:rolleyes: Especially since I was burning a much bigger area and we were burning off a field full of Big Blue steam......SO I knew the fire would be hot and crazy. By crazy I mean 15 to 20 ft tall flames.... Well we burned around the field just like planned then started the fire on one end....let the wind blow it across and all worked just as planned. Here are some pics.. here is what I burnt off last weekend....it really greened up in just one week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Update OK looks like my pics got moved but here is what it looked like AFTER the burn.. Here is what it looks like now... Looking at the picture after the burn....The lower left had corner of the that field now has a Food plot. Hoping for it to be a good spot. Just for comparison.... Here is what the side we did not burn looks like. Planning on burning it next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 What kind of grass is that Toddy? I'm thinking of putting in prarie grass on our new property so I don't end up maintaining and mowing 2 acres all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of putting in prarie grass on our new property so I don't end up maintaining and mowing 2 acres all the time. I am not 100% sure what all is in it. It is a CRP field and several years ago we HAD to plant some native grasses. I do know there is a lot of Blue stem in it. By fall time that field will be 5 to 6+ feet tall. Wildlife seem to love it.

Zambo Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thats a great management plan. We burn about 250 acres a year and the wildlife love it. It brings back native grasses and plant diversity that provide food and cover for many speices. I tip my hat to you, great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
