As I mentioned, I do have 75 acres of pasture just as you show in this video in upstate New York, unfortunately, New York and the deck refused to return. My phone calls on prescribed burning. That would be very beneficial to many parts of the northeast, but they still are trueto do it. The US has a whole must embrace prescribed burning to stop such things as California from continuing to happen.
Do you know of any private perscribed burn companies in northeast? This could be a good company for someone with experience to start as i cant seem to find any online myself. Any info is appreciated, as i know dec will not likely “ do” themselves
This is very interesting, i have about 75acers of pasture just like this in upstate ny. Some of it will go back to hay and food plots. But some i wanted to keep like this, more native without losing to invasive species and mature woodlot
How would you maintain something like this without fire? Without it getting away to the point of needing a dozer? Brush hog wouldn’t allow you to get far enough along to have the 5-6 foot brushy stuff
Won’t leaving the invasive shrubs standing or laying in the field make your herbicide application for the cool season grasses difficult? Assuming you will be using a boom sprayer. Sounds like a lot of driving around and dodging the shrubs. Probably leading to less coverage on the target grasses.
I dont agree with getting rid of all autum olive and bush honey suckle. It is cover. I have it on my place and ive gotten rid of some but im not gona kill it all
A drip torch is another tool I’d use on that oldfield.
Can't in New York, sorry should have stated that.

We agree. Prescribed fire is not only beneficial for improving wildlife habitat. It is also very important for fire mitigation.

It is definitely a consideration!

Much better native options and leaving it lay allows a “transition period” to allow native shrub plantings to mature
@ i do agree with that 100%. Ill never get it all off my place but when i do cut it i pile it for the bunnies
Why not run a fire?
Can’t in NY!! I’m stuck in similar situation and we are not allowed to burn 😡
Yea it's a total pain in the butt!
