Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in Mexico, MO
Flat prairie farm ground where the only brush is in the fence rows, and the fence rows are the job.
Land clearing in Mexico, MO covers the Audrain County prairie ground along Highways 54 and 15, the drainage ditches and fence rows between Mexico, Vandalia and Centralia, and the timbered creek bottoms toward the Salt River.
Forestry mulching around Mexico, Missouri clears the hedge, cedar and brush that build up in fence rows, drainage ditches and field edges across the flat prairie farm ground of Audrain County. Growth is ground where it stands and left as mulch, so the field edge is back to the fence with no stumps for the planter and no piles to burn.
Mexico: Prairie Ground Where the Edges Are the Job
Audrain County is flat, glaciated prairie with heavy claypan soil, and almost all of it is farmed. There are no hills of cedar here. What there is, is edges: miles of fence row, ditch bank and field end that have been quietly filling in with hedge, elm, cedar and honeysuckle for decades. Around Mexico the clearing work is almost entirely about those edges, and about getting the field back to the fence.
Fence rows on prairie ground are a different job from a hillside. The growth is linear, it is often hedge and elm rather than cedar, and the ground beside it is crop ground that the equipment has to stay off. A mulcher works the row from one side, grinds the material where it stands, and leaves nothing to pile or burn on a farm where every acre is planted.
Drainage matters enormously on claypan ground, and ditch banks and waterway edges that have gone to willow and brush slow the water down. Clearing them with a mulcher keeps the bank covered rather than bare, so the fix does not create an erosion problem of its own.
The creek bottoms toward the Salt River and the timber around Vandalia and Laddonia are the county’s hunting ground, and there the work is trails and shooting lanes. Mexico is about an hour and a half east of our shop in Salisbury, so travel is part of the quote and it pays to do a whole farm in one trip.

Mexico FAQ
Common questions from property owners in Mexico, Missouri.
Yes. The machine works the row from one side, and the material is ground in place so nothing has to be pushed or piled onto the field.
Osage orange grinds down cleanly with a mulching head, thorns and all, and nobody has to handle it by hand. It does resprout, so follow-up or herbicide is worth planning if you want it gone permanently.
