Duck land

[farmaholic]

This land will never be grain farmed. It is only suitable for pasture, which is ok.

I am talking 600 acre natural lakes not sloughs....canals originally designed by PFRA....to supply water to Moose Jaw...


Sadly now the WSA is involved and its really turned into a cluster****....

Bucket, when you look at the size of the water bodies in my post compared to the quarter sections beside and around them, two of them probably are the size you're talking about.

What Prairie people consider lakes in their back yards really isn't my definition of a lake. Is there an area covered and depth that need to be met to qualify as a lake? Now I'm hair splitting.

They've got Brad and Moe making duck pasture as we speek.

Yep, doing the same as a lot of farmers do other than their goals for the land are different.




While I agree their management of the land leaves a lot to be desired I still support them in this area as they are the last organization standing against habitat destruction. Left to the surrounding grain farmers this mixed bush/oak savannah, slough and wetland area is fast becoming a treeless, waterless desert.

Grass do you remember when the Wheat Board let you haul 3 bushels per cultivated acre ?
