Landscape Considerations for Wildfires

This video provides landowners information about fire-dependent forests. As we have more and more intermingling of human built areas with forests - particularly fire-dependent forests - we are going to have more and more issues with "wildfires." The substantial increase in the amount of the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) since say 1950, which continues today, has created the potential for subst...

Timber thefts and trespasses do occur in Mississippi. Thefts are intentional, trespass is non-intentional. For thefts, proving intent can be difficult. This video explains some approaches to determine the value of the loss regardless of whether a theft or trespass occurred. One common way is through a “stump cruise” based on mathematical relationships developed from adjacent non-harvested trees...

A pine species trial comparing loblolly and longleaf pine was established on six acres in central Mississippi south of Crystal Springs on the MAFES Truck Crops Branch Experiment Station. This location roughly corresponds to the northerly historical range of longleaf pine in this region. The site is defined to be fine-silty, mixed, active, thermic Typic (Oxyaquic) Fragiudalf. Over the past 20 ye...

An introduction to FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act). This video is merely an introduction to FIFRA because it is a rather large act. As with most laws, regulations, codes, etc., there is some amount of interpretation. If you regularly use pesticides then you have likely, indirectly at least, been associated with Section 3, 24(c), and 2(ee) registrations. This video pr...

Given inflation, the rising costs of diesel, and the rapidly increasing costs of log truck insurance in the recent past, hauling logs costly and efficiently may succumb to the “economy of scale” concept. Transportation, or trucking, of the logs from a forested site to the mill is the most costly component of logging. Many logging companies commonly utilize independent contract truck drivers, or...

Have you wondered how full-length logs are transported in mountainous areas on roads that have many switchbacks and sharp turns. Through telescoping (extending), stinger-steer, or stinger-steered, pole “trailers” allow for log trucks to travel on these roads. Stinger-Steer Pole Log Trucks: An Example Using Farming Simulator 22 Switchbacks are curves in roads, often in a zig-zag pattern, that gi...

Trees, shrubs, forbs, grasses, grass-likes (e.g. sedges), etc., require light, moisture, and nutrients. In forests, for both understory and overstory plants, often light, moisture, and nutrients become limiting at some point. We can often manipulate the understory-overstory (or overstory-understory) relationship to best meet landowner management objectives. Techniques include varying the planti...
