Do you ever get poison ivy clearing the fence rows? That stuff scares me.
Yeah that piece is a real head-scratcher. The HOA has a lot of cash coming in, but they are very tight with money. I have offered to hay that parcel for 10 years now for free, but they’d rather pay. My guess is there’s a “farming hater” on the board that doesn’t want hay to be produced.
It’s not bad down here-still very sparsely populated. I live in a very unique area. You can go 20 miles northeast and be in crime ridden Philadelphia. You can go 10 miles southwest and be in very rural, remote farmlands where ATV’s and horse & buggies run on the roads.
Some of the ground out here is tied-up in conservancy or private restricted space. LOTS of farmland remaining, too. Takes a while to get in touch with the owners & managers of these lands and get them to trust you into caring for it.
I haven’t yet. Usually we are clearing in colder weather, so we are in long pants and long sleeves. Maybe thats why we don’t?Do you ever get poison ivy clearing the fence rows? That stuff scares me.
It’s a bit soft, but with the temporary warming trend, there’s nothing that can be done. Still needs to be cut, so I wait until its dry as possible. So far this winter we’ve only had 2-3 days of lightly frozen ground.How’s the ground conditions?
Still a bit soft in southern Illinois.
