Farmers wave off geese near Manitowoc County marsh
Farmers at Collins Marsh Wildlife Area in Manitowoc County use bright orange plastic flags to deter geese from cornfields replacing gas cannons. About $4,000 is available for scare devices and fencing as the Manitowoc County Land Conservation Committee joins a wildlife damage abatement program. Geese rest on marsh land along the Lake Michigan flyway and move to nearby fields to feed.
