Very good points Chris. As we like to joke about when we are out West " a good dirt farmer is a bad pheasant farmer" meaning very clean row crops, no weeds in the corn. Hopefully the administration in DC will have some sense and open up more acres to be enrolled in the CRP program in SD and the...

Our group has hunted one of the other Uguide properties for several years and can attest that if you farm for pheasants they will be there. If you have food plots, sorghum or milo is best, then you will have birds. If you have the grass fields of CRP + food plots then you will really have birds...
