The census shows pheasants in Iowa farms vary by county wealth, with best counties yielding one to two pheasants per farm acre and average counties five to ten acres per pheasant.

Director Crane notes potential for fivefold expansion without harming agriculture, though exceptions exist in areas of exceptional plenty.
