[QUOTE="KDM, post: 207341, member: 314"] The ONLY solution to the reversing habitat destruction and the ever decreasing wildlife populations is found in INDIVIDUAL land owners making habitat preservation and wildlife a part of their priority list. That's it!! The more "Ag producers" we get to replace farmers, the worse it will be for the critters. Ag producers are those individuals that manage land by what some book, computer program, govt. program, futures report, or similar information source says will yield the most profit. A farmer looks at what's good for the land not just his bottom line so he will have a bottom line for years and years to come. What we have in ever increasing numbers, is a bunch of college taught "Ag producers" planting beans on beans on beans who think crop rotation is rotating bean varieties. The land is being mined of all it's nutrients and on top of that we can add draining, tree removal, slough removal, grazing the hills to within an inch of it's life, and any number of other practices that eliminate much of the habitat and cover on the land. Which is their prerogative. However, when the dust blows and these folks start to squeal, I hope there's a mirror close by so they will know who's to blame. As far as this issue is concerned, EVERY politician cares about the environment, clean water, clean air, wildlife habitat, the bunnies, squirrels and tiny mice critters when it election time. When it isn't election time ALL they care about it kissing the right asses to get re-elected and deer, pheasants, and ducks don't get a vote or have deep pockets of cash. There ISN'T a single politician that will put wildlife or habitat above Ag profits. [/QUOTE]
