Summer burn video

[Prairie Drifter]

I'm featured in a video on summer burning on our agency web site, www.kdwp.state.ks.us . It came out late Friday and is still up today. It should be the feature for several days then be moved to the archives. I won't be leaving my regular job. I'm hopefully better at doing the work than talking about it. Give it a look and let me know what you think!

Troy good job and very educational. Well made video.

Looks like it has already moved to archive

That method seems like the way nature intended it to happen.

How do you get that stuff to burn? Seems like crews have hard enough time getting stuff to burn in spring when brown and dead.

We had no trouble getting it to burn. There is plenty of dead dry duff underneath. With this grazing system, the burns will actually get hotter as the grazing pressure is directed toward the last burn and away from the unburned units. Each pasture is divided into 8 units. Usually I would burn 1 spring and 1 summer. This year I'm doing 2 each to catch up after a burn ban year.
