On my way to Champaign on Saturday I saw some one burning filter strips planted to native grasses. It was kind of windy, but with a ditch on one side and a chisel plowed field on the other, this fire was in no danger of getting away. Burning is need when using native grasses in order to control woody vegetation. It also seems to maintain plant health and control annual weeds. Spring burning favors grasses. This fire may be controlling some cool season grasses too.
