Many of the old pine savannahs in W. St. Tammany have become pine plantations or subdivisions. We still have hardwoods in the bottoms on our family land along the Tchefuncte River north of Goodbee, but it's gotten rather hard to navigate/hunt in the last few years due to storm damage and lack of prescribed burning.
ETA: St. Tammany used to be a rice producing parish. The entire are where Archbishop Hannan High School and the Rouses' are on down to Madisonville was planted in rice. Tantella and Triangle Ranches were rice fields before they were cattle farms.

I can not speak for south Louisiana. I don’t know what goes on down there. I can only speak for morehouse parish because I live and farm here. Rice acreage is not down here. All of these big farms can not grow anything but rice, if anything there is more rice now bc of the Kennedy mill and the adoption of row rice. I can also tell you that since 2016 there has been more beans and rice left in the field than ever due to terrible harvest conditions. As far as farming practices that were stated like “farmers used to leave the stubble and now they disk it down”, for one, due to weather conditions the past several years that hasn’t been able to happen on many of these rice fields, 2, when you do that do you think that seeds just disappear ? If anything it scatters food out and becomes more available for ducks. I don’t know what the real problem is I just personally do not believe Louisiana is killing less ducks because of less rice.
