What happens here

Maintain continuous coordination between the excavator and the bulldozer. The bulldozer pushes more material to the base of the growing piles, while the excavator lifts and places the larger stumps and roots on top, interlocking them to create a stable and high barrier structure. This systematic building process results in substantial brush piles that, even if intended for future burning, temporarily serve as robust barriers. They are positioned along the slope of the cleared land, adjacent to the pond, effectively trapping loose soil, slowing down surface runoff, and minimizing the risk of sediment entering the water. The sheer volume and interwoven nature of the woody material provide significant structural integrity against erosion forces.

Goal: Collaborate with both the excavator and bulldozer to strategically build up large, dense brush piles, creating effective physical barriers to control erosion and stabilize the landscape.

gonna be awesome give you some footage here what he's doing basically just tossing these things up in the air and they weigh thousands of pounds is what you can't see shaking it just trying to get all that dirt off of it so that it will burn and you look behind him and they're already burned piles burning I'll get you some really cool drone footage of this stuff too [Music] probably by the end of the day all these stumps will be in a big tall pile right here and we'll have a nice place to burn them so folks if this is your first time to the Stoney Ridge farm click that like button click that subscribe button follow us on our journey we're taking some overgrown abandoned worn-out land and we're making it into a beautiful beautiful farm these guys are working their butts off this is a huge major major undertaking we'll probably be spending somewhere in a neighborhood of twenty two thousand dollars to have this area of land cleared and I'll take the drone over you'll fly over you'll see everything that we're clearing just give you a little bit of footage of what's going on here so I'm gonna say bye from here and we'll bring you back in the next day or so when we get some more fires lit and stuff we'll keep you posted and keep you updated on all this but really cool a lot of stuff going on I just let you watch for a little bit now get out of here so thanks a lot for watching sunny ridge farmer today guys I appreciate you this is what's going on on the farm today there's always something really special going on here on the farm this is gonna change the landscape of the farm forever and I'm really excited so thanks a lot we'll see you next time on Stoney Ridge farming all right guys this is like a coordinated dance it's really cool to watch I can just sit here and watch these guys for hours something really fun to watch looks like the fire is kind of getting out over there a little bit [Music]
