04/05/20  -  Unrestored prairie burn.  This field is mostly smooth brome (cool season, European grass)  but has some native grasses including Big bluestem and Indiana grass that been peppered in here and there the last few years.  This is the first burn of this field and very interested to see what the results are now entering our burn list.

04/10/20  -  Prairie Burn.  The burn started with iffy wind speeds and gust around 5pm.  A bit of good luck as the wind settled (not forecast) into great burn conditions.
