How about asking this tough question?

I don't drive.  

You imply that the only alternative to field burning is the use of more chemicals. Hogwash.  

Farmers that grow grass seed need to get a life and organically grow crops that can be eaten by humans.

Grass seed.  What a waste. 

So, uncle1...answer the question I posed: Could I go into your backyard and pollute the air you breathe? The air belongs to us all. You and other proponents of field burning have no right to destroy the air shed for your own economic gain.

And also-

Let's stop the insane practice of slash burning after we clearcut.

Stop clearcutting.  Stop all burning.

How dare the grass seed growers pollute the air we all breathe!

Could I go into their backyard and dispose of my unwanted waste because it's economically good for me?

No!

So...........stop polluting the air we all breathe!
