Burning Over Fields
Not Sound Practice
Farmers who bum over fields,
woodlots, marsh areas and fence row
cover are really playing with fire,
according to state agriculture con
servation officials.
Fire destroys humus in the soil,
they said, and in addition fences
often are ruined, young saplings
are destroyed and food and nesting
cover for ground nesting birds are
burned.
