O.Steen, Game Commission director. Farmers and other landowners are urged not to burn roadside ditches or railroad right-of-way for this reason, Destroying weeds, brush, and other such cover, especially in the spring, removes essential protection for nesting.Studies have shown that up to 25 per cent of Nebraska's pheasant production comes from roadside ditches, when residual vegetation is available to the nesting birds.
