[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4607009, member: 12277"] We used to plant Sorghum Grass, an annual hay, every year in a low field we had. Blackbirds and starlings would swarm it when 1st sprouting and pull the plant us to eat the seeds. That worked out well for me because my job was to stay down there as much as possible with a 22 in hand to run them off. I was only 12 and the 12 gauge was too much at the time so about all i did was make noise and run birds off but it was by far the best job I'd ever had on the farm! I'm not sure how much total damage they might have done if I hadn't watched it so closely with the rifle but that was back when black birds traveled in huge flocks and the field was only 20 acres. If that same number of birds had descended on a filed of only 2 acres they would surely have ruined it. [/QUOTE]
