[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5597659, member: 1409"] Seems logical that there could be a correlation. In most of Stewart Co. (at least the portion west of the Cumberland River) there has never been significant row cropping nor winter wheat production. Turkey population in central Stewart are a fraction what they were years ago, and quail are almost totally extinct now. Whatever happened to the quail, my fear is it's happening to the turkey. Don't think this has anything whatsoever to do with winter wheat production (at least here). Things are a little different on the east side of the Cumberland (closer to Montgomery County) mainly due to better soils. Very noticeable difference in deer antlers being on average larger for same age classes on the east side of Cumberland, so I suspect turkey production may also be with the better soils and more row-crop ag, plus more winter wheat there. One more thing. It seems the government has been subsidizing and promoting more corn production. This increase in corn might be contributing to a decrease in wheat production (nationwide)? [/QUOTE]
