Actually, it was an excellent means of clearing trash before DD or early min-till operations!

I know a local wildlife group which organisers the burning, fire breaks, beaters, controlled burn,It’s probably a lot more steady than barley straw
In it's day a good burn was worth a pint of Gramoxone (yes, we did everything in pints/acre back then) and a pass with a pig-tail drag.Actually, it was an excellent means of clearing trash before DD or early min-till operations!
Aaah yes, set fire to a small bale of straw with a pirelli (scrap) tyre on top which is fastened by a long chain to a small tractor (135) then when well alight proceed to drag said burning tyre backwards and forwards dropping off dollops of burning rubber as you go, across the desired stubble field which had already been crisped up by a spray of paraquat.( See ICI pamhlet ****197 ??).
Gets an excellent clean start for DD OSR.
NB Pirelli was a textile based tyre and didn't end up dropping pieces of wire all over the field ...as per michelin X
You obviously dislike it. Done properly it's an effective tool and not dangerous at all.Well it was insane and no fun like you might be thinking

Inexperience and total disregard for the power of fire will end in tears.
What damage does the burning do?I like soil
What damage does the burning do?
Are you drinking?If I burn down your house with you in it, do you think you will be very well afterwards

Burning doesn't do the SOIL any harm at all.
Was it really as damaging as suggested,
Now all you do is Spray damaging chemicals onto the soil structure and environment, up to 18 times a crop cycle, accordingly.
Black grass was never a problem then. !!!!
