[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1820969, member: 8993"] I am pretty familiar with burning so have to ask some questions. If your in Ohio what are your reasons for burning. You probably dont have warm season grasses that needs an occasional light burn. Are you burning to get rid of something. Lot of old people burned broom sage but you need to get the soil in the correct condition and it will get rid of the sage. With the heavy average rainfall most any dead grasses will rot away by the next year. Burning also brings its own problems. It opens up the seedbed and almost always blackberry will come in and have to be controlled. In an area thats for wildlife only there might be some advantages for burning small areas. Mark, you mention that NRCS and SWCD can find a burn crew. Definitely not here. And if you might wonder i am a Prescribed Burn Manager and a Burn Boss with 48 years experience as a firefighter. This opinion is for this area which is not far from chaded. I know places like south texas has grasses that need burned occasionally. I dont feel we need widespread burning in grasses and im definitely against burning in timberland. I see USFS burn for fuel reduction when there is absolutely no reason. They kill valuable timber.
