the rice acres in S La that are put into crawfish ponds should be deducted as well


This has way more affect than sugarcane acres moving west and then plus not having all the ground going into rice the next spring flooded all winter like it used to be.

In montana now

Drove through missouri ark iowa and south dakota.

Waste grain in South Dakota corn fields was not as high as i remember in the past. Much more wheat planted and still lots of corn standing in the fields. Many water holes historically dry when I make this trip are holding water

Iowa and northern missouri.. holding water on unharvested crops. Ducks in fields and ponds thick which I havent seen before on this drive. Thick meaning thousands in one field.

Essentially, there is tons of habit with flooded crop up north. Going to take a major freeze and snow to get birds down. Even then, lots of water across ark and northern la will stall birds too.

Coast is going to suck.

Yep, in the MS, AR and LA deltas most AG fields are now land formed and are immediately hipped after harvest. They don’t naturally hold ducks like they used to do.

Combines are much efficient and don’t leave much behind in the way of food.

Weeds are much more controlled and they used to produce seed for ducks.

Meanwhile, OK has seen a massive increase in peanut production and ducks love it.

That’s just a few of many factors.

Not unless they changed it this year. Section south of Raphael Pass and north of Pass a Loutre has always been open for hunting, no mud motors of course.

I’m convinced the conversion of marginal farmland to CRP and WRP has negatively affected birds too and pushed them West.

God forbid anyone restore something that should have never been farmed in the first place.

. Its a short-term issue imo. I notice some CRP red oaks (Water oaks) planted in 2000 that have acorns this yr. (first ive noticed) The hard mast and forest cover will help i think. (edited #2 to correct oak species)
