Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 181371" data-attributes="member: 373">Just out of curiousity what is the value of an acre of farm land in the RRV. Why is a farmer maligned for trying to increase his net worth or profit potential by improving his lands from a production stand point while any other business it is acceptable?  We have land we try to keep cleaned up and we have some we purposely leave cat tail sloughs on for wildlife. I wonder if the nausea is offset by that? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />Traveled out to the Shrine Bowl a while back to watch the kid play and was surprised at the number of tree rows around Grand Forks on the way in. Supposedly the longest continuous shelter belt in the nation is around there? for the record, I don;t like seeing trees taken out or wholesale cat tails cleaned off becasue of the impacts on wildlife. But farming is a business like any other. My guess is that in these areas of drought wildlife will migrate to where the food and shelter is....usually the ranchers yards. This winter with low feed supplies and wildlife likely competing for those feed sources in these hay yards it is going to be interesting. I would guess a couple threads on the value of buying feed to feed wildlife will pop up and depredations issues will likely be more of an issue. We are already seeing sloughs getting worked up around here, am going to be cleaning up some ourselves so am guessing any kind of winter our yard will be full of deer again. Maybe looking for bow hunters those last couple weeks of season once again.- - - Updated - - -Ha shoulda read allens post first.</blockquote>
