Neighbor of ours has a similar problem with the rocks.. what he did was track down an old rock crusher and started up a small quarry.. you would never buy road crush for your property again and definitely have some to sell. It would also give you the opportunity to film the operation of a whole new range of equipment for your channel.
That would be awesome
Apocalypse Brock!! I thought you were in Vietnam today! Looks like a battle!!!
Personally, I think you’ll see the results of the burn in 6+ months. Maybe not. I’m sure you’ll let us know!!
Crazy to see that. Great video!! Cracks me up seeing you try to identify trees. I suck at it, but I’m trying to get better!!! I think all those rocks on your hill were a part of a castle, Rockhill Kingdom, but it fell over, and you need to build the castle back together for the grandkids!!! Keep renovating that part of the property! It’ll be worth it… and the fight will be fun! Best, - J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres
That honeysuckle is invasive in a lot of areas and hard to kill ; I may have missed it but the time of the year has a big impact as to the burn👍
Thanks for making this video. I am shocked all those little eastern red cedars are still there! Really interesting to see how this went. You ain’t kidding when you say you have a hill full of rocks!
Not a total waste, at least you learned something.
I used a stihl kombi with a Kurt saw blade on the brush cutter head, the pole pruner, and hand held hs81r hedge trimmers to cut a lot manually. My property is full of poison ivy though, which I found out the hard way. Even where it was just old open pasture, it was growing everywhere. Eventually rented a track skidsteer with a brush cutter to tackle the rest. But, no rocks like yours.
I agree, I would start at the edge and start gathering up those rocks and sell them as landscape boulders.
Great video. Brock, it's definitely a good idea to do control burns. If you do goats, you need really, really, really good fences, but the goats will clear most of that stuff up. Cows would help as well. If you could find an old stone crusher, you would never have to buy gravel every again you have endless supply rock 😃
You could try it again next year, earlier if weather permits. I bet the burned areas green up fast!! Cheers!
Hello from Doss Farm You Tube Family
The Picture This app you mentioned in the earlier video on this project is fantastic. Thank you.
Agreed. I’m trying to learn to recognize all the tree types in it helps
You need a weed eater with a metal blade. I keep one set up with a string and one with a blade. Go up there 15 minutes a day with the blade and you'll have that cleaned up pretty quickly.
Our local conservation agency burns off one part or another or several parts of public hunting and we still have multi flora rose its a struggle 👍
Brock, Happy Easter He Has Risen.
Great Video. Would of been a different story if you did that back in February. Always next year though
Wow Brock!! I was thinking rent a rock bucket, and gather rocks. I had NO idea there were that many!! You're right. . . mini EX with a thumb!! Good luck my friend!
Best of luck with your project 🔥
All those rocks would be a nightmare to try and mow down in
I have an area about that size full of rock, i just leave it be. Not worth the hassle. Cedars love the rocky areas and its pretty as is.. I made some atv trails so we can drive though it and enjoy it.
I have a similar problem. I just bought a property that is about 20 acres of pasture that hasn't been cut in two years and is severely overgrown and another 20 acres of trees and brush. I wanted to burn it but it is too green now and I'm worried about containing the fire when it dries out. I think my best option now is to invest in some good fencing and put goats and maybe pigs on it.
Good Easter 🐣 morning Brock .
Get a wood blade attachment for your string trimmer. They are great for heavy grass or small trees/shrubs
What I need is a mini excavator to go up there and spend a couple days pulling rocks off that hill and then spread some dirt over that area so I’ve got trails to cross it
@@RockhillfarmYT let's do it! I can't commit to "days" but maybe a 1/2 day.
I’m looking at renting a machine to take some of this rock off the hill and dump it in my pond to help with erosion
Let me know what you wanna do and we’ll figure something out. I’m always interested in collaborating with somebody like yourself.
Happy Easter Brock! Yeah... you already said it. You were about 2 months late on the burn. Back in the day, when I was still a firefighter, I don't know that we would even have tried. "If its brown, it burns down - if it is green it stays clean" lol. It is a delicate balance - dry enough to burn but not so dry it gets away from you. Several times people burning brush or such had it jump into a bean field or corn field stubble and woosh! There it went lol. Sorry things didn't go as planned. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
Good morning Brock. Happy Easter to you and your whole family. The only thing that I can come up with to clean that area up is a dozer with metal tracks. Just pile the rocks and brush up into a couple of piles and do something with them at your leisure. I know that there will still be rocks but maybe you'll be able to raise the mower up high enough to at least keep the brush under control. Just an idea. God bless and have a wonderful Easter. 👍👍🙂🐰
Rock hill farms for sure. Wow you have a ton of rocks. You can try again next fall/winter.
Happy Easter, that is a lot of rocks. I can definitely see them now and how much is there.
Dang look at all them rocks you can get easy now. You should sell totes of rocks lol you got plenty.
Hello, I came over from Chad Doss. I enjoy your kind of video. It’s so hard to understand why fires just won’t start. I’m glad you had firefighters there to help you. Maybe you could talk to Dusty. I’m sure you know him if you know Daniel. Anyway Dusty knows someone that is really great at identifying plants and I’m sure he knows trees too. Not sure what his title is. Sorry this burn didn’t work out for you. I hope you can figure something out. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion. I went and visited. Daniel at his property last year. Great people as well as the Doss family.
It'll take a couple of years of winter burns to take care of some of that stuff. Lots of those vines will stay green all winter long (and be very tough to burn) and of course the roots stay after a burn and they will sprout again. Stick with it and the vines eventually will use up the reserves in their roots and it'll turn open up nicely or maybe into a glade.
Looks like you needed some of Mike Morgan's Fire Starter. 🤣
One guy on utube hates cedars. He talked about how much water they suck up a day. About 30,000 gallons? Watch how they burned on cross timbers bison. He's in OK. with drought issues. Here in MO we found the tree division of the conservation dept. a great help.
You are talking about Daniel arms. He is a friend of mine
There are some folks who rent their goats for that purpose...not sure if that's an option where you live. Just curious, how much did the fire department charge for their participation (if anything)?
🐐💨 kinda thorny
Goats will eat everything. Considering he wants to keep a fair amount of it goats are not appropriate.
The correct choice here is manual labor to selectively cut and spot spray. It will take time. Work on it in short bursts as you have the energy. That's how you eat an elephant.
Carbon is good fertilizer. You may have a green hill next year.
Brock, have you researched how all those rocks got there? I see a lot of farmland around you. Is it possible that when they cleared the land 100 years ago that they deposited all the rocks there on the hill and that maybe they are just laying mostly on top of the ground? You can probably collect them fairly easily and move them. Love the channel and the information you provide. 😊
Me watching tells me that it is a 91 foot elevation change to the top of the hill.
If you don’t get to it in the winter, you could spray it then burn it.
The best laid plans of mice and men...
Holy rocks
One kind of fire that concerns me is the kind that gets under ground, burning unseen in the roots of the trees for days or weeks, and which then pops up to start an unsupervised fire which threatens things you didn't want burned in the first place. Another is the kind that moves as embers through the air, at dozens of miles per hour, spreading far and wide.
Those are the kind of fire out here in Oregon that burn thousands of acres in the mountains, and burns whole towns to the ground. They're more common in August than they are in March.
Not to say "drive it like a rental" type scenario, but I'd suggest renting whatever track equipment you take up there in those rocks. That's brutal on tracks. That being said. Renting a mini excavator for a week and a dump trailer to pick the top rocks out and some brush control seems like a good solution. Then you can bring your skid steer in without much worry about the tracks.
I have been cutting all the cedars out of my land to let the hard woods thrive but to each their own
It’s of corse hard to tell just by video but I still think I would stack all the rocks I could in a wall . Then plant the trees of your choice. And yes you may can sale some of the rocks . I just not sure what your landscape rock market there is . I would enjoy that many rocks with an excavator. So many options .
Have you watched Daniel of armsfamily homestead, or Dusty of crosstimbers bison. They both do prescribed burns with plans thru their local county.
Yeah,he sent me a text, saying to burn all those cedars.. Went to his house and recorded some videos with him a well. Here is one:
after watching this, I'll bet hundred year ago the farmers cleared all those rocks from your fields and piled them up on the property line out of the way..
Baby rabbits in the nest can't get away from fire. Neither can turtles and other slow movers which have already come back above ground. It was too late in the season to burn that for several reasons.
Another option for clearing it is something like a DR brush cutter. Not the best tool in the world but definitely better than a weed eater!
Turkeys will be in there after that fire!
That’s about a typical first year burn. Yes you are about a month later than you should have been but you did clean up the ground level and can see where you have issues. Now you can get in there and clean up the briers. Next years burn will have much better results. I’ve found about 3 years worth of cleaning burns before you get what you’re expecting from the burn off
I seriously underestimated what you were saying in several videos when you said was rocky!! Wow. I'm with another commenter - get a rock crusher.
When I’m done editing this video for tomorrow I’m going to do a search
I’m betting those are minimum 20k but we wouldn’t run out of rock for a long time
😖 dang nothing ever goes according to plan 🤦🏽♀️
Does your grass die in the summertime or does it stay green all year
The yard stays green, all summer, but dies in the winter. Not sure about up on the hill.
I would have let it along for animal habitat
You do that in pockets. Do you think the deer love impassable sections of thornbushes? Also, there is 100 acres surrounding my property that is completely untouched Woods.
If you only had a good source of rocks.
👀👀
Rent a heard of goats they will take all the brush down to the ground.
Sumac spreads like a weed.
Spent the last half hour looking for my keys
Happy Easter Todd! A senior moment? 😁 I have zero room to talk lol 🤠
Did you find them?
Found my keys they were on top of my one Pig 's house when I went to check her last night
Someone should have never signed 😊ff on a dirty burn…
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say?
@@RockhillfarmYT that moji was supposed to be the word Off. It’s a wildland fire term, when you have a fire burn through but it is not going to be an efficient burn it’s a dirty burn. The fire weather and conditions were not right. The firefighters should have called it off. Now you are left with a burn that isn’t complete and will be hard to reburn due to lack of fuel.
