If you really want to know there is plenty of information out there. Start searching each one I listed. Look at Google images and you might find that you recognize some of the plants but didn't take notice of there importance.

Why the popcorn? The more efficient combines become at harvesting means less food for waterfowl to eat in dry fields in the northern portion of the flyway. In turn ducks are forced to come further south. We could get into the issue of no till, but I am about to leave for the day.

Internet search functions get you plenty of links that include photos and key characters of many of these plants. A recent book, M. L. Schummer, H. M. Hagy, K. S. Fleming, J. C. Cheshier, J. T. Callicutt: A Guide to Moist-soil Wetland Plants of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, is a picture-heavy field guide written by waterfowl biologists/hunters for this group plants, many of which provide good-quality duck food.

That would make it easier for the ducks to find.

I have had an outfitter in gueydan swear if we dumped sand in the field and plowed it in the geese would be all over it. The duck in canada are all full of peas. Small seeds in point aux chien

little pieces of Holsum bread that are lined up on that long log that's sticking out into the break.. I always wondered if the bread fell out of those big old jet air planes that fly over?
