Clearing 154 acres of woods in west Tennessee

[dodge man]

The storm water plan is required from the feds I believe. In my mind is ag use excluded. If the land isn’t visible would anyone enforce it? You never know who is watching.

Dang, my notifications bell went crazy on this one. Got 45 likes and still climbing daily.

Meanwhile the OP never came back huh. Some pictures or further description would have really helped. Sheesh.

I wonder if that is a new TBN record.

"If it was farmable land it would have already been cleared" has been said many time in this thread.

Around here almost everything was cleared and farmed a long time ago. When slavery ended lots of land went back to nature. So just because it's trees now doesn't mean it wasn't a field long ago.

Guys in FLa panhandle let a lot go to crap when feds launched a full scale attack on tobacco industry, same I'm sure in Tenn/Ncar, ect. Like several have said, you really need at the Very least, good pictures/aerials to make an informed suggestion, but really, there is no replacement for walking the property.

Maybe the solution would be to deforest the 150 acres making it into pasture then let the 150 acre open pasture go back to nature?

If that's what you want go for it.

Not me...I'd buy 300 acres of pasture! Just joking.

If this whole thread isn't a "troll" thing.... there's already soils maps of the whole country.
Get in touch with USDA/NRCS and ask for them for your land. I'd aim for the USDA office as NRCS seems to be a little anti agriculture.
It's foolish to jump in when this soil information is available, free.

47 now. But I suspect somebody has gotten over 100 before, with a well placed wise crack. @Muhammad got any data on this?

We don't have quick access to that stat but I've never seen a post with 47 likes on here before. Since we only added the reactions about two years ago, users have been somewhat slow to adopt the feature (though number of likes per day has been gradually increasing).

I will look into adding a feature to track most-liked threads and posts. It could be a great way for us to find gems that might get overlooked.

This chart shows the number of "good post" reactions per day since we implemented it in March of 2021.

How many of those were from 'new members' who only came here to comment on this thread?

Napalm would work. Properly applied of course.

Might be a good idea if we could depend on the winds to take the smoke to Canada. We had plenty of theirs recently.

 

[two_bit_score]

just cleared 65 ac for pasture and I was able to get grass seed down right away.

How long did it take you to clear that 65 ac?

Definitely something weird going on with that.

You can see the list of members who liked the post. Looks pretty normal to me.

There just seemed to be an unusual number of first or 2nd time ever posts in this thread.

Went back and counted 18 posts in the first 100 that had posted less than 20 times ever, and 5 or 6 it was their first ever post on TBN.

I've heard that a few times in other threads. This thread was in one of our weekly trending topics newsletters. That often brings users in who aren't active daily or have been inactive for a while.

what does it matter??

 

[deezler]

Haha, the TBN old timers get suspicious when low post count members chime in to a more divisive thread.

This one also has a very clear thread title, "clearing 154 acres of woods" - certainly gets your attention and the OP directly asked for comments and input.
