Hi Lord Dracon

I don't think that you realise the size of a farm, we do not talk in square meters but rather in square hectares. this year I planted about 60 hectares of grass for my cattle and I still bought 200 bails of 250kg of grass to get me through the winter. I have made fire breaks that were 12m wide and the fire still went over it because of the wind But OK we did get it under control due to the land being worked but if that was not the case there would have been no stopping it. My neighbour a game farmer lost quite a few bucks in the last fire that we had as his grass is long and the land not worked.

We have Grass Fires, Brush Fires and Forest Fires.

One is about 12" hign and can run 40 MPH. the other about 30' Tall and Travels about 5 to 20 MPH! Now Forest Fire can make it's own Weather Systems , Can reach hundreds of feet high and travel At the Wim of the Winds it makes.

X, you should know by now that the best way to get hold of me in the evenings is on the home phone and not the cell No no!

Voda@#$ is absolute rubbish in my area Thumbs Down

you should have my home number by now, but if not send me a sms and I will send it to you Shocked

Homie, your fires are ridiculous Shame

that is one hell of a lot of land to burn.... lots of losses there, but on a lighter note, at least that gives you 290,000 acres of land to detect without battling with long grass Wise

I think that burning can be a good thing when controlled Great

Anyway, today is a S@#$ day as I have to remove the side shafts on my car to change gearbox oil seals which are running like a friggin river Angry

I hate working on cars Thumbs Down

Pauline had better keep the coffee flowing Coffee

otherwise I will have to drink X's beers Funny
