Editor notes Iowa Conservation Commission would face impossible costs and logistics to feed pheasants quail and other wildlife during severe winters. Estimates show millions of bushels of corn and tens of millions of dollars needed for feeding stations and labor, far exceeding available staff and budget.
A two year Missouri study found abundant seed on crops but notes winter storms cause most wildlife losses, not starvation. Feeding can help birds through severe weather if stations are protected and kept stocked, while habitat protects from storms and provides weed seeds and waste grains.
Iowa conservation officials warn of thin ice and heavy slush on the Mississippi and local lakes as 31 inches of snow drifts and rising water make ice fishing difficult. Fishermen report slow bites on bluegill, crappie, and walleyes near Guttenberg, Genoa, Lynxville, Rathburn, Wapello, and Lake Macbride.
