[@markpashia7067]

You are on the right track no matter what the city folk comment. Healthy land is so much better than what that is. Everything you said was right but one thing you did not mention is that juniper trees turn the soil acidic. That is why grass does not grow under them and is weak for a large circle around them even outside the crown circle. If they allow it, I would be burning piles this winter as control burns need your attention and pile burns are a whole other thing. Trying to both at the same time will run you ragged. My first visit but a grapple on the skidsteer would be very handy for piling that stuff up at least the small ones. Come fall brush hog around the piles down close and when the rains come, burn. By spring the ground will recover. Then you have a lower fuel load on control burn day. Hopefully a lot of the ash from the burn piles can offset some of that acid in the soils from the juniper if the rains wash it in nice. Ask the planning guy if that is allowed. It will make life easier for you. Good discussion on land management. Brush hog maintenance is a must afterward. Keeping those sprouts mowed down will eventually kill them without herbicide and better if you can avoid it. Makes for healthier grass and hay if you get some to cut. Also helps keep the microbes and bugs in the soil healthy if you avoid the chemicals. Just keep the sprouts down so they cannot get established and they eventually get so weak they give up. So many are going to rotational grazing just to keep the microbes and bugs healthy as it keeps the land and grass healthy too. That good area may not have been "planted" but if you feed hay in the area a lot of seed can come out of that over a winter and sprouts just fine. It is going to look good and be a whole lot healthier. If you never burned juniper, it burns hot and fast so be ready for it. Also why it is a terrible Christmas tree. You can nearly light them with a match instantly. Not worth burning your house down over a cheap tree. Good luck.

[@ConMonster1]

I’ve said it before but I have to say it again. I hear my dad when you talk about caring for the land. His farm was the best around. He has passed now and it hit me so hard when I went home and saw the care the tenant farmers are taking. The grass had grown up and over the fences and there were mass groups of thistles and invasive vegetation that my dad spent a lifetime fighting against. The land is just screaming for my dad. It was his time when he passed. That didn’t hurt as much as seeing the land missing him. People may not understand what it means that you do but believe me I do!! God bless you and your family.

[@ninanystrom8985]

I understand the feeling. The same day we buried my father. Then I realized what the big forest company had done with several hectares of beautiful forest. Totally devastated, hardly any seed trees left. It hurt my heart so much. Especially that day, because my father took care of his little patch of forest, and nurtured it like a park.

Daniel, throwing in the "Cameraman Ron" ending, brought a tear to my eye. I miss y'alls shared vacation Florida fishing videos. The one I really dug was the one where your buddy Richie kept losing fish right at the boat. He did it so many times that you made the term "Richied it"! Now, when one of y'alls fishing buddies fights a fish all the way to the boat, or shore then loses it at the last minute, y'all scream, "You Richied it!"😢😮!!!!!! Lol

Cedar on the bigger ones sell the lumber and have milled for closet floors

[@markpashia7067]

Not sure of the area you are in, but I get the impression it would be called "edge savanna" Not in the great prairie but on the edge of it. Before it was farmland the natives would do control burns to keep it managed as grasslands with hardwoods for shade. Massive oak with acorn crops to die for. Other nut trees. Well spaced as lone trees with grasslands in between. While a hundred miles away or more it would either be grassland prairie or hardwood forest with little under story. Edge savanna is the transition zone between.

[@684jewel]

The Bois D'arc trees are useful. Native Americans used them for archery bows and the larger limbs can be used anywhere wood needs to come in contact with dirt, like for fence posts. Its rot resistant. Old houses back in the early 1900's and before used osage orange stumps as piers for pier and beam foundations for houses.

[@davemunson7026]

I don’t know some of the other trees you were cutting down but Cedar tree wood makes tremendous firewood!!! First it burns hotter than other woods so it heats your home in the winter very quickly! Second it doesn’t pop very much like oak and other woods! When wood pops while burning there’s always a chance of small embers that are ejected when the fire pops could start a fire in your house! My fireplace was equipped with a heatilater which utilized Cedars advantages extremely well in heating the house! Third with the higher burning temperatures of Cedar I Never had a problem with soot build up in my chimney! Finally Cedar always left the house with a wonderful Cedar aroma!!!

[@JustBreCreates]

I love learning what trees are native where. From Nevada and juniper and most piney looking evergreens are native so for me they looks "normal" but finding out they shouldn't be there is fascinating! Northern Nevada did something similar in the 60s n 70s where all new housing area got over planted with silver leaf maples and they are very destructive trees! It's now illegal to plant them there because of how invasive they are and how destructive they are to underground piping, concrete, and structures. VERY glad you take pride in your home area and work towards making it a better area for the land, animals and people.

So @ 19:02 the 112 ac is total acres of the particular field. The 45 ac and 24.5ac which is the blue highlighted areas which totals to 69.5ac is the actual area in which brush management is planned on to be cleared. There is another page which breaks down how much is to be completed within each particular year along with the planned date to be completed by given nothing happens along the way. The survey was needed to get that Brush management percentage because the more brush the higher the financial assistance dollar amount is and the lower percentage the less amount the financial assistance will be. That is being well if its more brush it is gone require more time, energy, fuel, etc to get it knocked back. If its less brush then it wont take as much time, energy, fuel so less financial assistance will be given on that acreage.
