I soooooo much wanted to light a fire today but obligations kept me busy. Looks like you got a good burn!

Nothing like the smell of a fresh controlled burn in the morning!
Getting my required DNR fire permit for burning any piece over 1/4 acre, fire break disking, neighbor notification for anyone in a one mile smoke zone and the UW-SP fire crew to conduct the actual burn all lined up. There is actually still snow on the shaded South side of the prairie so the burn will be at least a couple of weeks away.

KSgobbler - Do those burns kill off those 5 ft. to 15 ft. brushy trees ?? The ground will certainly be popping green carpet soon.

I wish. It just pisses them off.
Sun is smoked out from all the burns today.

I'm with ya TreeDaddy... CONTROL is operative word, and I've felt I was barely in control a couple of times. Also, as a volunteer fireman in earlier years, we'd fight plenty of "controlled burns" that weren't. Lots more rules now, and I know burns are effective when done by guys who know what they're doing. Those fields do look good ksg.

We've had some good views this spring too. We got pretty much everything burned this yr except for about 30 acre I want to do a fall burn on.
I almost answered the guy who asked if the burn would kill your hedge... but figured you would rather give the answer since you love hedge so much. :)

Do have to worry about control burns in my district with winds 25MPH,no only is it unsafe it is illegal in Kansas 99.9 % of people don't have the equipt to control those types of fires.Be careful out there we have had more deaths from control burns than random house fires

I turkey hunted in the flint hills of Kansas years ago... Its the only place I know of that people light fires in the evening and comeback to see what still needs to be burned in the morning. Everyday we saw large grazing/pasture land fires for regeneration of the prairie grasses. Most never had a single person attending them, many were hundreds of acres in size. We were super nervous about leaving any pop up blinds out overnight.

Scares the crap out me to light a fire. Wind direction and speed can change so quickly here. I never start a fire without calling it in first.

Out prepping power poles for the upcoming burn. Next year I am going to treat around the bases with herbicide. Neighbor moved the haybales to the south so one less thing to worry about. I saw a few smoke columns from people burning brome last week. The time is almost upon us.
