What happens here

This video details a large-scale land clearing project aimed at converting forested areas into pastureland. The primary strategy for managing dense root systems and large stumps involves heavy machinery for removal and piling, rather than stump grinding, due to the project's scale and available equipment. The process includes systematically clearing perimeters, extracting stumps with intertwined roots, and consolidating all debris into large piles for eventual burning. The video highlights the progress over several days and outlines future plans for final land preparation.

hey there folks this is Josh Stoney Ridge farmer welcome to the second half I guess of our second land clearing project and we're way over here on the other side of our farm you're gonna get some cool drone footage of what's been done already and what we're working on right here Frank is here for two more days and he's got a couple more jobs to do and he's going to come back so we're gonna give you guys progress and updates what he's doing in here is he's pulling these big stumps and stuff out of the ground and rolling them up in piles and then we'll probably burn these piles okay we don't have big fancy expensive million-dollar equipment here that can just grind up stumps and rocks and all that this is nice land it lays nice and flat it's very fertile land as you can see back in here we can't do this with the forestry mulcher we have to do this with a loader or a track hoe in order to get it all cleared off so so far Frank has gone around and cleared the entire outside perimeter edge of all these fields that are over here and this is about 25 acre project so where I'm standing is about a 5 acre area and then there's about a 20 acre area over there a bigger area so that's what Frank's up to that's what we've got going on our property line is right over here and we're gonna start moving all this debris out into here piled up in wind rows and we'll get it burned probably sometime late summer this year so come along I'll show you what's going on we're making progress all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so now you can kind of see a broad overview of what we've got going on we'll keep you updated on day three four five six I think this is going to be a six day project over here until Frank comes back so lots of work to get done he's moving as fast as he possibly can but you can see I mean these stumps just the base of the stump it's almost eight feet high not high wide so it's a whole lot of stuff to roll out of the ground and everywhere where you see a bush when we're flying over or when we're standing here that's not a bush that's a stump a big stump that's got to be rolled out so that's stunt growth right there undesirable hope you guys enjoyed the video we're also going to be seeding these areas smoothing these areas and fixing all this up so this will be future pasture land for our farm we're effectively doubling the size of our usable land here on the farm rad thanks a lot for joining me today guys we'll see you next time on the Stoney Ridge [Music] here in sweet that's way supposed to be stone Tyrion [Music]
