| Waterfowl Management: |
Harvested rice field management is the centerpiece of waterfowl management in this area. Rice is the most common crop in the region used by ducks. Rice left after the harvest provides a source of food that does not rot on the wet flooded ground as quickly as other cultivated seeds. Furthermore, the stubble supports protein-rich invertebrate populations in late winter that is vital for good nutrition for the ducks flight to the breeding grounds and for egg production. Rice field management is not only beneficial for the ducks, it is a priceless tool for the farm. Water impounded by levees left in place prevent erosion, natural weed and grass control and allows slow ground water recharge. The stubble that is left to decompose also provides natural refertilization of the soil. These are just a few of the conservation management practices that are in place east, west, north and south of this property. All of these facts lead to the ducks being able to get all the food they need for the winter and use the timber on the Brushy Creek waterway and the Languille River for cover. The ducks will continually work from the fields to the timber on this and the surrounding property making for a high percentage of successful hunts.
and stalls for horses.
