[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5059553, member: 17"] Great stuff Popcorn! In the Deep South pine plantations of MS and AL, what you are doing is called 3rd or 5th row thinning (removing every third or fifth row, respectively). It is an extremely common practice that increases growth of the remaining pines (gives them breathing/growing room) while also producing excellent wildlife habitat where sun can reach the ground in the thinned rows. The removed rows can even be used for long narrow food plots. Ag equipment companies down there sell a type of disk designed especially for this task, with a wide, tall gap between the left and right sets of disks, so the stumps from the removed row of trees passes down the middle of the disk.
