[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1821005, member: 6291"] [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] We usually burn to reduce fuel load, standing or thatch, and/or to manage brush. The pictures I posted of the fire is a 400ish acre hay field that is being fert and sprayed per soil tests. It grew back after the last cutting but not enough to justify another cutting. The spring started off wet so they opted to burn the grass off from last year so they first cutting would be clean, fresh growth. You know how it is, 30 days later it was beautiful. That's very simular to the OP circumstances and is why I would consider burning it. Obviously, they need to consult with local contacts and make their own choices just like any thing on here. Attached is a field that is a good candidate for a burn first part of the year. The thatch is starting to accumulate to the point of choking out areas of grass. With the right moisture this year I would consider burning it before spring. [ATTACH type="full"]35499[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]35500[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
