Waterfowl damage prompts lure crop program for farms
Farmers face repeated risks from weather pests and now waterfowl damage. The Department of Mines Resources and Environmental Management bought lure crops on three farms John Marlow Dave Sutherland and Walter Larambe plus a barley field on Harry Vandenbogerd to steer ducks using cracker shells and bangers. Lure crops were cut differently on each field as Mines Resources gathers data for future programs financing from Wildlife certificates and hunting license fees supports the effort.
