Good advice. Instead of clear cutting a 50 acre pine
plantation area that was situated in the middle of a property
that was at full maturity I cut it out to create a quail plantation habitat ( left pine trees spaced out 15-20 yards
apart) and burned it two years ago.

I also clear cut 10 acreas of it to get it converted to plantable
soybean fields. Still dealing with the stumps so I am not
there yet for that 10 acres but hopefully will be next year.
Gonna cut out another 5 acres of it this year for the same
purpose.

Edit: a good side benefit of doing this is consolidating
and compressing travel routes.
