A lot of these got beetles as well. Weak trees that cant stand up or stay alive better go out the chimney😎

The result of one windy day blowing down trees and about 3 days of clearing and pulling it out🤪

Ever played slender man IRL?

Seems like it

Tell me about it..

You and me both🤝

Or course they wouldn’t find out if I sold a few logs. But it makes it illegal at the economic viable scale. I have transformed about 20 hactares from forest to pasture/silvopasture and couldnt have done it economically next year.

From new years it’s illegal to sell timber from breaking new ground for agricultural use in Norway. The circular regenerative concept we have built for years, illegal. This picture is from my neighbours land, where I keep it tidy in the exchange for the timber. It used to be a beautiful grass meadow, and is now a spruce plantation in shambles. Tree plantations on agricultural land aint any good. But I guess the EU beaurocrats dont want to hear about it. Tree good, cow bad. Even if the tree dies and the cows would thrive. We’re not stopping though. It’s time to go hunting for grey zones and loopholes. And make some Norwegian politicians answer for themselves.

Damn right. It’s one of my favorite parts of taking a farm which had largely been put out of operation for 50-100 years. I bet it looks a lot more like it did in the 1800s now.

I have a lot of repetitative farm chores that are similar to that, like moving cows or splitting wood. It sure gets you into some form of zen. But this felt different. May be related to it being something I dont have to do, but that is beautiful and long lasting if done right.

More windfall clearing today. This tree was only 37 years old!
