Love and Prayers for you, your team and your family for this year ! 🙏🙏🙏 So eager to see the new grass this 2024 spring !!! I LOVE "Good News " !

Rarely here about this being done in the UK, though..don't know why..maybe its all the rain we have.. amazing watching the bison 🦬 walking through and it not hurting their hooves...p🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👍👏🦬🦬🦬🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸

    If you took a drag harrow to that area to spread the poop would do wonders for that grass as well. Hell you could see the poop for fertilizer!

  • @IamRuSerious
    @IamRuSerious Před 2 měsíci +1

    If you will run a disk over the blackberry patch after you burn it and turn those berry roots up, most will dry out in the sun and die. As long as there are roots in the ground they will keep living and spreading.

  • @BrLambert
    @BrLambert Před 2 měsíci +1

    Fire is a natural and beneficial part of the prarie landscape. Despite what young city dwellers may think, grass was meant to be mowed (bison) and weeds, mesquite, and cedar were meant to be culled (fire). All part of nature's plan.

  • @SallyGreimes
    @SallyGreimes Před 2 měsíci +1

    Not many are aware that the cane blackberries are not native to North America. They were brought by early settlers who missed them and had them shipped over. As a result they have invaded all of the USA & Canada.
    Native grass is the absolute the best.
    There is some nutrient released by fire which draws bison, moose, elk, deer. So you are improving the land in many ways. My grandfather told me, decades ago, but I have forgot. Being the quenticential hunker hunter/gatherer that he was, he knew all about that part of nature. He respected nature and excessive taking made him furious.

    That blackberries can be controlled. The vines only bear one year. Then they die. So if you own long enough clippers, you cut down the vines that had berries. Clear to the ground. The vines that did not bear, bear the next year. Understand having a fence to tie the vines to are a big help. That way the tips don't touch the ground. That is how they spread. And, because your pruning every year, they stay within their limits. Love wild blackberry pie.

  • @chanwittwer4925
    @chanwittwer4925 Před 2 měsíci

    Dusty, the pioneers and Indians used dried buffalo patties make excellent dried fuel for fires. They start fast and burn hot, that's why you're having so many issues with spot fires.
    That being said, it's great to see a controlled burn to get rid of invasive and super hard to kill wild black berries.

    Hi Dusty, its been a while since I've commented. But since you brought up the topic about the bison poop. In Alaska some people collect moose pellets, dry them and use them for fire starters whenever they are out hunting or camping. People don't realize how lucky they are to have the things we do. Anyway just wanted to stop by and say hi and pass that on to you. Best always Rusty in Southern Oklahoma ❤️ 😊

    While I realize you refer to the blackberries being an invasive species. Here in Mississippi in the springtime many times I went with my grandmother to gather blackberries. This entailed a little coal oil around your wrists and ankles to keep the red bugs off. Too much coal oil and it would blister your skin. And yes I know all too well the ‘hooks’ on the canes. But nothing better than blackberry jelly, jam, or clobber. 😊😊😊

  • @coleengogerty3852
    @coleengogerty3852 Před 2 měsíci

    More ranchers need to do some prescribed burns. Get rid of that dead fuel and get that regeneration going. It certainly will help prevent additional wildland fires like we have seen in the Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma. There is always a risk during dry conditions like we have seen. But when there is so much fuel we get the tragic consequences.

I always would dig for a week for new plants coming on up of fruits that birds had dropped along the way !!! Then to burn the land that will give to you a lot of acres of land of HAY yes HAY for the BISON !!!
