[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5597626, member: 10019"] Yes. Actually, modern agriculture in general but wheat seems to be the noticeable difference. Speaking specifically of wheat, its production is down nationwide. We are by no means in a major production area of it but I’m curious if the lack of it in some areas are correlated with decreased populations. Anecdotal for me it is. I used to have access to production across the state so I dont know if it’s actually down as much as it seems or if there is an obvious relation with Turkey production. I just remember during the hay day of turkeys in my area, wheat was everywhere. It provided excellent brooding, fall/winter nutrition and good predator protection. Even hunter predators only had a smallish window to hunt wheat fields until they became too tall to hunt. What got me really thinking was listening to a biologist in NW Kansas talking about it. It was more of an overall discussion with practices in his area and more focused on deer but turkeys got brought into it. [/QUOTE]
