Here in our area field burning is a late fall through spring before the grass turns to green. It has been on this farms to do list for awhile …. now it’s done! The pastures look so much better no scrubby grass ,the grass will come up nice and tender . It also shows that the fire ants are living well out there.
Hubby uses a gas can like container that has a hose like spout that one lights, then you walk along to light the dry grass.
Almost done .. it does burn rather quickly even though it was done in the evening with very little wind.
The next day…
See that ant hill.. don’t step in it!
Starting to green up again.
For all my northern friends who need a little spring in their day… keep warm!

Very interesting to rea all this. In Finland, we have had during many generation so called burn.

One of our famous painter made a painting from it in 1893.
Thank You for this post.

The painting is wonderful! There are forest controlled burns here also though forestry often does those. We just did our pastures.

I know that fire was all safe and contained but it still gives me the newbie-jeebies to see it. And those horses are so close!

The horses actually don’t mind it, and it burns so quickly that the ground cools off just as quickly.

Oh yes the air can be black sometimes, they do it in the fields around us, but we never see the start as we are always at work 🙂
