[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 324342, member: 6150"] When he took the job in 2006, there were approximately 3.3 million acres of CRP in ND compared to just over a million right now. I was driving back and forth from central ND to Fargo nearly weekly about that time. It seemed like there was a series of new tree rows being ripped out every single time I made that drive over 5 years until it seemed like nothing remained. It was almost like a war on habitat. On top of that, Oahe, Sak, several other reservoirs, and every prairie pothole were all near historic lows in 2006. Within 3 years, hundreds of thousands of acres of lakebed wildlife habitat was flooded for the next 10 years. So, what do you propose was done differently to preserve wildlife over the last 15 years on a landscape with nearly zero habitat? I’m not defending him, I’m frankly impartial and open ears, but let’s have some perspective. If you’re in desperate need of a villain when it comes to wildlife numbers in ND, look closer at modern agriculture. And don’t forget, major decisions made at the director level within state agencies often come down from the governor’s office. [/QUOTE]
