Native area cleanup

Each season, the native prairie area between holes #12/13 is mowed.  Normally, most of the lower area and some of the ditch line is too wet to mow.  This season as the rain has stopped and warmer temperatures have arrived, we were able to use the brush hog throughout most of the area.  We did have to pull the tractor out of a couple of spots but overall it went well.

We are going to go in this year and  use some broadleaf weed killer on most of the upper end to eliminate the giant ragweed from the area because of the problems it creates in the fall for those with allergies and the horrible stalky remnants that are left at the end of the season.
Just a little section to finish and it is all done for the season.
