If you haven’t viewed our composite video (Eastern Red Cedar: A Burning Issue), we recommend you do so before diving into this one. The Composite video can be found at the top of this playlist!

In this video, we visit with Rod Voss (NRCS), Sean Kelly (SDSU) and Ranchers Rich Grim (Gregory Co., SD) and Doug Feltman (Brule Co., SD) who take a more detailed look at a burn plan.  The burn plan seen in this video is adapted from other prescribed fire associations, but standard for the Mid Missouri River Prescribed Burn Association.  While there is always a risk to fire, a well written burn plan, executed properly, will reduce risk of the fire getting away.
