work good for the new grass and better crop.
ware i live here in s.e. pa the fire dept will burn for us. only 3 ac at a time. and with permit.
call your f/d and ask them about it . in my town you can burn crop or pasture land w/permit. and you must meet all saftey reg to do so. i remember when the farmers would lite 10 or 15 ac up at a time!!! as well as the woods, barn. house,. things got hairy so they made us get permits and if you get f/d to burn it for you it give the young guys good skills to fight fires.
also you may need a fire pond. as we have a 100x50x12 hear on farm that was a must to build to get any coverage. dont tell you state farm guy you burn!! he will have a fit!!
and one more good thing to do after you burn
rake land hard to pull up roots. when you do this it will make the spray job better becouse it will kill more before you plant. most dont rake. or you can also disk land after burn . really worth the time and your spray will work mutch better. hope this helps ya friend!! good luck and dont get to close to fire!!
