As we enter a second year of drought in central Nebraska, I’m starting to hear discussions about whether or not it’s a good idea to conduct prescribed fires when conditions are so dry. I have some ideas about this, but am curious to hear other perspectives as well.
Whether or not to burn in a drought year can be a tough decision to make.
Those of you who read this blog regularly will not be surprised that my answer starts with, “It depends upon your objectives.”
