~STUBBLE FIRE~


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   ~STUBBLE FIRE~
~STUBBLE FIRE~

Alot of farmers will burn off
wheat stubble after harvesting
the wheat in order
to plant another summer growing
crop such as soybeans, which is a
great crop rotation plan.
That is what we are doing here
on our two irrigated circles....
that is my father-in-law in the tractor
disking beside the fire so it
won't spread where it shouldn't.....

HAVE A TERRIFIC TUESDAY!!!!!

Good Morning
Mike..Nancy..Peter!!!
Thanks a bunch!!!
I appreciate your kindness!!!
We haven't done this after harvest planting in quite sometime....
I have always thought that the
smoke from the fire is beautiful....
many different colors and very dramatic!! Makes one feel almost helpless as you are up close to it.
The heat is Very intense!!!
I can't imagine what firefighters feel when they have to fight a fire that is out of control...I salute every one of them!!! Around here they are all volunteers....

Thanks again for your wonderful comments and input!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

  Beautiful, frightening, dramatic, interesting -- this capture is all of those and more, Jeana. I can't help wondering why he didn't do the disking before you started the fire?

Good Afternoon

Bojan..Dominick..Mike..Nichole..
Jennifer..Nikki!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!
Your thoughts and comments are so appreciated!!!!
Nikki...in answer to you question....if the stubble wasn't burned off...it would require the tractor and disk to work the ground many times over to get proper planting conditions. Saves money on diesel fuel and the crop gets planted that much quicker. Hope that helped!! :o)

THANKS AGAIN ALL!!!!

ENJOY THE AFTERNOON!!!!

  I just meant why didn't he pre-determine the area that you wanted to burn and disk around it then so it wouldn't spread rather than waiting until the fire was burning to create the fire break.

  I can't decide which I like best...both convey a sense of fury with the smoke, and the magnitude of the smoke in relation to the tractor. And "disking"? I learn a new word every day!! Excellent work, Jeana!

  Excellent capture of this fire and smoke scene, Jeana!!! Our grass seed harvest is in full swing now and it won`t be long before they burn the fields to sterilize the ground for next years harvest. There are fewer fields burned each year and it won`t be long before it`s a thing of the past but they are fun to watch now....Denny

  I'm sure we will see this again. It is a fantastic and very powerful image. Love the contrast betwen the smoke and the wheat stubble, the vivid colors and the clarity. This technique is also used in many parts of Spain.
