Prescribed burn workshop scheduled Dec. 16 in HenriettaTexas Prescribed burning is a tool landowners can use to manage heavy grass and brush growth and minimize risks created by the lingering drought and high wildfire conditions, a Texas AgriLife Extension Service agent said. But knowing the rules and right conditions are key to a successful and safe burn, said Missy Hodgin, AgriLife Extension agricultural and natural resources agent for Clay County. A prescribed burning workshop is scheduled for Dec. 16 at Henrietta. The program will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Pioneer Hall, located at the rodeo grounds approximately 0.8 mile north of the intersection of Texas Highway 82 and Farm-to-Market Road 1197. The workshop is sponsored by AgriLife Extension, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. The program will offer participants three continuing education units for their pesticide applicator license certification, Hodgin said. Topics will include: prescribed burning and vegetative responses, state prescribed burn policy, planning a prescribed burn, prescribed burning techniques, on-site field demonstrations and implementing burn plans to maximize wildlife benefit. Advance registration and a fee of $15 is required by Dec. 9. Space is limited to 100 people. Checks should be made payable to: Clay Beef Committee.
