Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in Salisbury, MO
Our home ground. The shop is on Route DD, so Chariton County jobs carry no travel time at all.
Land clearing in Salisbury, MO means the upland farm ground either side of Highway 24 and the timbered draws that run down toward the Chariton River on the west and the Missouri River bottoms to the south.
Mid Missouri Forestry Mulching is based in Salisbury, Missouri, in Chariton County. Brush, cedar and fence-line growth around Salisbury, Keytesville and the Highway 24 corridor is ground down where it stands and left as mulch, with no burn pile and nothing hauled off. Because the shop is here, local jobs carry no travel charge.
Salisbury: Where the Machine Lives
Salisbury is home base. The shop is on State Route DD, which means the machine is already here and a Chariton County job starts with the trailer backed up to the field rather than an hour on the highway. That matters for small jobs. A half-day fence line that would not be worth a long haul from somewhere else is a perfectly good morning’s work when the trailer only has to go across the county.
Chariton County is row-crop country first. Corn and beans run right up to the field edges, and the clearing work here is mostly about protecting that: fence lines that have gone to cedar and hedge, terrace edges and waterways creeping in with willow and elm sprouts, and the ends of fields where a strip of timber has been widening a foot or two every year. Mulching lets us take that edge back without leaving stumps in the way of the planter.
West of town the ground breaks down toward the Chariton River, and south toward Dalton and Glasgow it drops into the Missouri River bottoms. The bottom timber is cottonwood, silver maple, willow and box elder, and it comes back fast on any ground that floods and dries out. The upland draws are oak-hickory with cedar filling every opening that has not been grazed. Two different kinds of brush, same fix.
A good share of the calls close to home are hunting ground. The bluffs and draws along the river hold deer and turkey, and a lot of the timber between Salisbury and the river is owned or leased for exactly that. Shooting lanes, walking trails to stands and cleaned-up edges around food plots are quick work with a mulcher, and the mulch layer means there is no bare dirt to erode on the slopes.

Salisbury FAQ
Common questions from property owners in Salisbury, Missouri.
No. The shop is on Route DD outside Salisbury, so anything in Chariton County is local. Travel time only becomes part of the quote when we are hauling the machine well outside the county.
Cedar and hedge in the upland fence lines, and willow, cottonwood, silver maple and box elder sprouts in the river bottoms toward Dalton and Glasgow. Both grind down cleanly; the bottom species resprout and usually want a follow-up pass or a herbicide program, cedar does not.
Yes, especially close to home. With no haul to price in, a half-day fence line or field edge is a normal job for us in Chariton County.
