I live in SE Arkansas and here are my observations. #1 Farming Practices When it’s bone dry in October and all the farmers disc the fallen grain fields and hip rows leaning it looking like the Sahara Dessert, ain’t good for ducks. Not to mention if thr land owner Dosent hunt or want to lease the land there’s no water for ducks to stop. I live 60 miles from Miss River and I haven’t seen a duck this year and it’s all Ag fields from my house to river. I also have not seen one snow goose or one speck on the ground. I’ve lived here for 20 years and the last 3 have been horrendous. Public land has mainly been due to no water accumulation
Pretty sure the rows have been hipped in the fall when possible for a long time
Also SE Ark has seen a decrease in rice acres from the past - more corn and soybeans- same with MS delta
The big rice counties in Ark are around Jonesboro now

I live here and know farmers here. They still grow rice. But they don’t leave the levees up for the fields to flood, and they disc them after harvest. Idk if you comprehend anything that I posted the first time cat. Yes they try to hop in fall and have been doing it a long time. But if it rains and rains a lot in October and they can’t hip, they cant get in the fields until April.
