FRED GRAIN PROGRAM AIMS AT PHEASANT NESTING COVER
State Conservation Commission Director Glen Powers says restoration of thousands of acres for pheasant nesting may occur in 1961 through the fed grain program. Diverted corn land will not be grazed or harvested and recommendations include not mowing cover, leaving wildlife strips, and clipping only late to protect nesting hens. The effort also benefits quail rabbits and Hungarian partridge and notes 60 percent of pheasants come from oat fields. The northern pike length limit applies only to natural lakes and Missouri river oxbows.
