[QUOTE="wct12, post: 439135, member: 8117"] You edited your post so I missed the last paragraph in my response.. landowners and the federal government hold a decent chunk of the blame. The few acres they gain burning sloughs, tearing out yards and tree rows and working ground black are extremely detrimental to our wildlife.. But since it’s private land.. I don’t have any say over what they do, nor can I make changes on that. It’s private land, they can do as they so choose. I did work a couple grass sloughs down this fall.. but I did not throw 1 match in a single cattail slough even if I though I could farm through some of the in the spring. I have never tore out a single tree row (have more miles of tree rows planted then I can count on both hands with plans to put a 20ish acre tree grove in in the next year or 2) and never worked a field black after harvest, even where I plan on planting corn next year. Farming practices are moving forward. With the increased acres of corn and beans there will only be more of those farming practices that take place.. it’s just something the department will have to live with and audible to unfortunately.
