The State Conservation Commission notes idle refired acres in the feed grain program offer nesting cover for pheasants. Town farmers will idle over three and a half million acres, with oats slotted at two bushels per acre for weed control and cover. Early seeding and selective herbicide use reduce mowing and nest destruction while boosting pheasant habitat.
