[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3361264, member: 5412"] It had been flooded for a couple of summers and had grown johnson grass and other weeds into a tangled mess with some small trees starting to grow. I eliminated the overgrowth and as a side effect killed the small trees. I've been in there with my spray rig recently to kill the new growth johnson grass which is a rhizome and grows from the root. If you don't kill the root and just use tillage equipment it will double the growth or worse and make the land unusable. Since I'm planning to put it back into production, it was time to burn then spray. Controlled burns in other areas are of great benefit to wildlife as well. Young birds like Quail, Turkey, etc can forage for insects in the new growth that is coming up, where thick grass makes it difficult for them. I have another place that is strictly for hunting that gets 1/4 of it burned every year in February or March. It keeps the woody brush in control, eliminates the understory that has no benefit for wildlife and provides new growth of beneficial plants. [/QUOTE]
