The process involves utilizing a rotary cutter, also known as a brush hog, to clear overgrown vegetation. This equipment, typically tractor-mounted, effectively cuts down and mulches thick grasses, weeds, brush, and small trees. An example includes reclaiming a pasture choked with unwanted plant growth, returning it to a usable state for livestock grazing or other agricultural purposes.
This land management technique offers several benefits, including controlling undesirable plant species, preventing the spread of wildfires by reducing fuel load, and improving the aesthetic appeal of rural properties. Historically, it provided a more efficient means of clearing land compared to manual labor, contributing to increased agricultural productivity and improved land utilization.
