Hey, Thanks, never had a real invite before
I'm clearing some timber on about 40 acres of my land. They should be finished next week. When is the time to go back and spray, burn, and plant?
Dr. B
Also, are you aware of any government subsidized programs that could assist with the costs of replanting?
If they are finished by next week, you should be able to spray this fall, burn a month or so after and plant this winter. Plenty of time.
There are a couple gov't programs to assist in planting longleaf pine - contact the NRCS - if in Montgomery Co:
April Jones
NRCS
District Conservationist
(334) 223-7257
There is also a state program and you can contact
Tracy George
Dept of Cons
334-353-0503
Most of these will cost share up to 75% of the establishment costs. There is only one program for loblolly (that I know of) and it is a "low density" planting administered through NRCS. If I am planting loblolly, I would rather plant it heavier than they will allow. If I want low density, I go with longleaf.
This is an excellent resource:
