Rice flooded after harvest has been a normal ag practice for since rice has been cultivated as an ag crop. Corn only needs to be “irrigated”; by that I mean setting poly pipe on the highest part of the field and is allowed to trickle down the furrows. Levees around a cornfield used to be used to KEEP WATER OUT of a low lying field to protect against flood waters. If they want to flood harvested corn; they can flood all they want; I could give a rat’s behind. But you see if any corn was left after harvest, it wouldn’t last as long under water.

Why else do you think they flood standing corn. It NEVER deteriorates. They even drain the fields the minute the season is over and go in and harvest it if there’s any sufficient corn left. They have perfected every aspect of this “duck holding” practice. This is actually the new way of “legal baiting”. Why else so many people criticize anyone that mentions doing away with the practice. They either gain from the practice personally or financially. And they have the nerve to call this “duck habitat”! They are harvesting a natural resource by unethical means. It’s really as close to shooting “flighted” ducks as can be. These guys are laughing all the way to the bank.
