[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5101677, member: 20151"] Its largely habitat. When grain prices go up fence rows and wood lots come down. as markets expand poor ground comes out of CRP and goes into production. Big fields with scarce habitat also makes life easy for predators. Herbicides are bad, pesticides are worse but neither are as bad as poor stewardship! My grandmother was a church of christ (old school) christian. She believed in tithing applied to everything we do, not just cash income. She left 10% of her garden for nature, she instructed my grandfather to leave 10% of his hay and corn for nature and even would never pick all of the berries from the wild vines. Even she trapped to protect her hens which we do far less now. Her generation lived thru the greatest repopulation of wildlife in history. Our generation grew up on excess and we are now seeing a decline. Habitat Stewardship! [/QUOTE]
