Waterfowl Food - MOIST SOILS MANAGEMENT
WHAT IS "MOIST SOILS MANAGEMENT"? Many of us want to attract and hold more ducks to our areas and favorite hunting spots. Moist Soils Management is the technique of using low depressional or flat slope areas to flood crops for waterfowl food sources and attractions. IS THIS "BAITING"? No. The Departement of Interior US Fish and Wildlife Service has confirmed and has documented that �manipulation of crops for the purpose of hunting waterfowl IS BAITING�however, if the crop is not cut, knocked down, or manipulated is some way other than normal farming practices, then that DOES NOT CONSTITUTE BAITING. Growing a crop and flooding any amount of water in that area, whether the flooding is done naturally or manually, this does not constitute �manipulation of the crop� and therefore IS NOT BAITING.� HOW IS MOIST SOILS MANAGEMENT DONE? It is very important to identify suitable sites. This requires identification of suitable soils, suitable slopes, feasibility of planting and managing the crop, feasibility of installing a water control structure and managing water resources for the project. HOW DOES MOIST SOILS MANAGEMENT HELP AND ATTRACT WATERFOWL? Growing a crop and flooding the desired area will allow an increase access for waterfowl to the grain sources. These grain sources are high in protein and are highly desired by waterfowl. Identification, design and management of Moist Soils throughout a region and on private lands can significantly influence the flyway as well as attract and hold more waterfowl to your specific area. WHERE CAN I USE MOIST SOILS MANAGEMENT? Crop land - Low areas or drained areas can be planted and then flooded later when the crop is mature. CRP - CRP allows you 5 to 10 percent of the CRP contract to be planted to food plots. Low areas or drained areas can be selected for the locations. HOW CAN I GET STARTED? Due to the complexity of the identification of suitable sites and the design of Moist Soils Management, we highly recommend that you contact one of our consultants for a FREE preliminary discussion of your goals, objectives and your property. We will then request some basic resources (aerial photo, soils maps and topography map) and then we would like to provide you with a FREE preliminary review and analysis as well as a proposal for one our Private Lands Consultants to assist you with your Moist Soils Management Plan and Design. This is a very easy start to see if Moist Soils Management is an option for your property. IMPORTANT...do it right...don't damage the crop by cutting, pushing down, manipulating the crop in any way as that will be baiting.
