[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1821085, member: 32879"] My steeper hills were in corn year after year through the tough years of the 1930s and into the early 40s. When I bought the farm in 1972 they were in pretty good grass, fescue with Jap Clover. I mowed them a few times with a team of mules. As I took an off the farm job and ran fewer head of cattle, the hills began the succession into woodland. I first hired them mowed with a sickle bar mower, later a four wheel drive tractor and batwing. I never got them back in the good grass they had in the 70s and 80s. A good burn would do them good but would be dangerous along the road and next to neighbors. My main invasives are sumac, briars and multiflora rose. The sycamores and yellow poplars get bad if ignored long enough. Our land is pretty damp natured and can usually only be burned during a dry windy spell in March. A broom sedge field burns easy enough but is better addressed with lime and fertilizer. [/QUOTE]
