Land managers know the benefits of prescribed burning of fields, grasslands, and forests, but finding an appropriate time to conduct a burn can pose a problem. If weather doesn't cooperate in the typical late winter/early spring time frame, a burn may be put off until another year. This can cause increased costs when workload and land management goals are not met.
