There are different methods depending on what your goal is. Some people put their pastures in a rotation where they get burned every 2, 3, 4 years. Some may burn mainly when we have had a wet year and they end up with excess grass. Then some people who are wanting to thin the brush out quite a bit may burn almost ever year for several years.That's something not done around here. How often you burn them off, every year, every other?

I will swing by and pick you up on the way. It's only 1188 mile's from here to Beeville, TX. That's 18 hours, so a short day.Me too! In my spare time.
Looks to me like they hadn't been burning often enough.Looks like Texas P&W may have let one get away from them in Bastrop County Tx.

TP&W scheduled burn gets out of hand
A cousin lives just north of the fire-was getting ready to evacuate and the wind died down. Same area that burned 10 years ago. Not sure why TPW picked a dry windy day in a dry windy month to do a burn.Looks like Texas P&W may have let one get away from them in Bastrop County Tx.

bet that cedar smoke smells goodWe have control burning listed on our insurance and do a few every year. Generally pushing cedars into windrows and burning. The insurance isn't cheap and lots of headaches. Starting to be more trouble than it's worth. At least doing it for hire is.

it was really dry and windy here today, I have some dry weedy/grass country that is that color. your photo gave my stomach a strange reaction because of the wind rattling doors right now.
It's not the wind as much as the humidity. We had high humidity and the wind didn't really kick up until well after lunch. We were blacked in where we wanted to be by that time.it was really dry and windy here today, I have some dry weedy/grass country that is that color. your photo gave my stomach a strange reaction because of the wind rattling doors right now.
