USDA System Supplies Food For Wildlife
Wildlife depends on vegetation and habitat changes since colonial days. The USDA plant introduction system, begun in 1898, brings new plant materials for wildlife food through ARS, introduction stations, and conservation tests. Immigrant crops like Japanese millet feed ducks and quail, while sawtooth oak and Chinese chestnut offer nuts and cover, aiding survival and outdoor bonds with nature.
