What happens here

Josh outlines the plan for preparing the cleared land. Once the bulldozer completes its work, a tractor will be used to 'disk up' the soil. This involves a two-stage disking process: first with a heavy disk that digs 8-10 inches deep to turn up the soil and break up dirt clods, then with a lighter disk and a piece of railroad track to flatten the ground. Finally, a seed drill will be used to plant a mixture of fescue and rye grass. Rye grass is chosen because it sprouts quickly, providing rapid ground cover to prevent erosion issues.

Goal: Josh explains the next steps after bulldozer work, which involve disking the soil with heavy and light disks, followed by seed drilling to plant fescue and rye grass to prevent erosion.

washing so before we go over and look at the big fire you'll see in the drone footage and we'll talk as we fly over and the pond is right there just above the pond is another area it's just been cleared okay now the goal is to get grass on this as quickly as possible okay so as soon as he's done here a tractor comes over and we dis this up with a two-stage disc we disc it with a really heavy disc that digs down on the ground probably eight or ten inches and really really turns that soil up and breaks up all these little dirt clods then we come through with the little lighter disc in a drag and what we drug last time was a piece of railroad track okay we'll drag that flat then we'll come in with the seed drill and we'll drill seed down into this and we'll basically drill fescue seat and we'll drill a rye grass that will sprout very quickly so we don't have washing issues now as I was saying above the pond over there we've got another huge burn pile well we've had a lot of wind in April in North Carolina and I don't know about where you live there's a lot of wind there wind issues now there's not a lot that can catch on fire back here because the field is green and it's my field and if it catches on fire big deal it's not a big deal but over here above the pond I don't own that forest I don't own that
