Most folks think they're managing for ducks. Kevin Nelms says: maybe they're not. Disking too early, spraying the wrong plants, chasing "clean fields"--it all adds up to less duck food. In this 11th installment of an ongoing Waterfowl Habitat Management series (see links below), Nelms breaks down what actually matters: timing, plant ecology, and understanding the system instead of fighting it. Cutting straight to the point, other topics include why broadleaf plants matter, how herbicides get misused, why to read labels, water pH, how water management mistakes undo everything, costly mistakes, sanctuary versus habitat, pressure over food, and much more. Bottom line: manage for ducks, not dirt.
