There is a whole crew made up of local farmers that do the field burning, so when it's a burn day they will be madly rushing around from field to field to get the job done in the short time allotted to them. #1174863

The last I checked, the boys in Kansas are a little more relaxed and they do it in the spring generally. You captured the action well here for sure Denny. #7904841

Thank you Carrie, Mike, Kerry, Marcel, Tammy, Bobby, John and Ron for the very nice comments!! I think they only have a year or two left before no more field burning. Some farmers will no longer grow rye grass because of it. There was only a small area this year that was allowed to be burned. #7905419

WOW...what a challenge especially in light of how quickly it could get out of control! #7907025

Marty Straub September 01, 2009

Wow, it's like fishihng in
Alaska. Go! Stop! Get anything? Looks like a lot of fun, Denny. I've never seen this before. #7907092

WOW, Denny! What a terrific scene. I didn't realize they'd let you burn in August. The burning restrictions are very tight here in the Rogue Valley. I believe we have until April or early May. The smoke gets trapped in the valley and can cause some real problems for people. Anyhow...there I go again...back to your image...it's FANTASTIC!! Deb #7907227
