We are fired up about burning for healthy forests!
Drought
October 21st, 2010 Filed Under Blog
In Alabama the drought persists. We had a trace of rain this morning, 1o/20/2010, but not enough to facilitate any burning. The KBDI in the area, as well as most of the state, remains above 700. A review of todays burn permits on the AFC web site indicates a few burns were permitted. Apparently there were two wildlife reported in north Alabama. These are the times that try burn managers patience. Patience is a virtue for wise burners. There is always the tendency to focus on getting that site prep burn done becasuse the herbicide has been applied and planting season is coming on. BUT, be WISE, minimize risk. Keep the match in the pocket and the torch in the truck until conditions are more favorable. It is much cheaper to miss a burning/planting window than it is to pay for damages of an excaped burn.
