While they are at it, why not be sensible and return to burning lawns in the autumnNot likely the EPA would allow that. Air Quality regulations would probably prevent it.
The Sierra Club would go nuts if we burnt off all the corn and soybean fields in Iowa.

You are right, of course; however burning has historically been a tool of successful land management. Judging from your name, I'll bet you had a great time smelling the leaves and grass as they burned, and realizing as well that weed seeds were being destroyed as well.

After grass seed was harvested from thousands of acres between Salem and Portland they were regularly burned off for decades. The enviros only allow a few hundred acres to be burnt now and then, as far as I know.
