Dove hunting

With a burn ban in place for most of MS, I need to burn the edges of my pond, and my millet. I am scared that with as dry as it is and windy as it is I will burn down half the state.
Any suggestions?

Don't burn it.
Have you called the local fire department to see if they'd be willing to come do a controlled burn. I don't know if they would do that with it being as dry as it is, but that would be the absolute only way I'd light anything on fire right now.

Gramoxone then clip it

I burned my browntop yesterday even with a burn ban. I disced around it and then burned it at 9 oclock in the morning within about 30 mins of the sun getting on it. It was still damp from the dew. It almost didn't burn. If I had waited until 3 oclock in the afternoon it would have been an inferno.
Just have a good fire line and burn either early or late and you will be fine.

If you don’t have absolutely perfect natural breaks between you and any dwellings, don’t even think about it. It ain’t worth it. You’d be financially ruined if anything happened.

Its been cut and is dry. Birds are hitting areas of it, some of it is just thicker than others.

I drove 55 mph on the Natchez Trace on the way home yesterday afternoon, too. Speed limit is 50. Federal Offense. I guess I could have gone to jail.

disc around the burn area and be out there with a bushhog ready to cut anything required to control burn. Notify fire department of the burn plan and safety protocols being followed.

There’s a state wide burn ban. If you ‘notify the FD’, they are going to inform you it is against the law to burn anything right now.

It’s not state wide. It’s 40 counties in central to south MS.

Could your driving 55 on the Natchez Trace potentially burn down your neighbors house, or half your state?

No it couldn't. But neither could burning 2 acres of my dove field.
It's in a WRP field full of heavy herbaceous material that is not conducive to burning. It's inside a triangle and the three sides are a River, an Oxbow lake, and a disked power line with a ditch and a road behind that.
The closest house is miles away and across the river.
Also I am a certified prescribed burn manager for 25 years. I've literally burned hundreds of thousands of acres in my life.
This is just one of those issues where I know what I'm doing. But I also acknowledge that in these circumstances, most people don't.
