[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1595154, member: 27848"] Check for any County burn bans in effect. Around here burning off is on a damp day, wind 5mph or less and a couple of trips with a 10' or so tandem disc to act as a fire break around the perimeter. If you have a local fire department, give them a shout as to your intentions when you are ready to torch the place. Burning doesn't remove weed seeds in the soil and you can expect them to be with you as soon as any kind of growth occurs. A better solution would be to turn the cows in on it now and have them knock down what they can. Then, before the rains set in, run the hog over it and disc the clippings in the soil. If any rye was ever planted there you will have rye shoots with the first rain. If you get the cows off it and let it make, you will have a rye winter pasture which will die off in the late spring when it gets hot and time for your grass to emerge. If any Bermuda or Johnson Grass currently in the pasture, they will love you for tearing up the soil....thanks coming in late spring from them with grazing about 1 June through out the summer. Rotational grazing gives you the best bang for your buck. Once you get the above setup, divide the place and when the cows have knocked down half of it fairly well....leaving a good amount of stubble, move them over to the other half and repeat the process. You can hotwire the process and run your wires so that they had access to water from either section. [/QUOTE]
