It’s time to burn! At this point in the year K-State extension agent Wendy Powell says its a common practice to burn your pastures to control weeds and other variables. She says there are a couple of factors you need to remember before burning. Powell suggests you review the weather and winds speeds on the days your burning, create durable fire stops and make sure you have enough people in board to contain your burn. Powell also suggests if you have neighbors to coordinate a day where you can do one large burn instead of several, provide enough water, and use the correct equipment. Powell says burning your pasture is one of the easiest and economical ways to control weeds and other variables throughout your pastures and hopes you'll be burning responsibly throughout the spring.
