ducks unlimited? ? ?????

Is marsh and water worth 0??? Anyone buying land here pays 0 for water. Might find an investor to pay for water.

DU is not a friend to agriculture in any way.

Thanks for the opinions. For the most part confirms what I thought.

Ya , no more Ducks Unlimited fund raisers for me - *** them

[farmaholic]

Why would anyone want to give up complete control of their property to anyone?

[farmaholic]

"any control", would have been a better choice of words.

[Hopperbin]

Perhaps ducks is due for a thorough audit. Just saying I could nail anyone balls to the roof if I was auditor.

I am not a fan of Ducks Unlimited.
DU is not a fan of grain farmers and have been known to do projects that are not in the best interest of the neighbouring farmers.


Similar to others on Agriville I do support the Sask Wildlife Federation and believe it is a good local group.

The story is too long and ****ed up.

Let me just say they are the worst managers of water resources I have seen.

The excuses are long. Their foresight is non existent.

And they are a bunch of arrogant pricks.

Their adds are misleading as well.

They are the worst offenders of drainage.

And not one government agency will regulate them and watch the shit they do.

[grassfarmer]

Notoriously bad managers of grassland - not understanding the basic principle that abandoning pasture and excluding animals does not lead to a wildlife paradise - at least not in the short or medium term.
Will have them for neighbours starting next week in MB.

I've seen DU running ads to sell land but no draining and no breaking caveat??

So, I'm supposed to pay DU for land that I can hunt ducks on? Sounds like a win/lose situation.

If you want to be member of an organization promoting proper land management and smart concerted drainage checkout Saskatchewan Farm Stewartship Association.
The only farm organization that can knowledgably counter the nonsense of DUC to government.
