I want to say a personal thank you to Shiloh fire department for putting my forests out see folks this Josh Stein a rich farmer welcome to the farm blog today me the missus tone image we got a little bit of work to get done here we've got a big rainstorm coming in so we've got to light up two more burn piles and this will be the last two gigantic burn piles on the farm for this season we're going to go over we'll show you what we do to light these huge burn piles and I'm talking about a burn pile that covers probably a half an acre a huge burn pile probably bigger than your house so we want to light that in low wind conditions and we want to light it right before it rains that way if any drifting embers were to run over on the neighbor's property they'd be put out by the rainstorm so we've got some pretty good storms coming in we're going to go have some fun today so we're just about to the very last loads of rocks and sticks out on our land that we just cleared so come along today and we'll show you what we're doing all right
