The Annual Native Grass Burn

Each year we burn our field of big blue stem
This keeps down weeds and improves growth
We do this in cooperation with the Cedar Hill Fire Department and the Missouri Department of Conservation
They use this as training and the practical part of controlled burn classes

Starting the fire


                                                                                             
 

The lines are set so they will meet and the fire goes out on it's own
When the lines meet it often creates a fire tornado due to the opposing wind currents created by the fire
