Duck Food in
the Making...
Even though Southwind waterfowl properties contain natural &
agricultural food sources, such as rice, soybean, corn, etc, we are making an effort
to further enhance the waterfowl food available by planting browntop & japanese
millet in conducive areas. Below are pics from
this and last years's crop.
Jefferson/Lincoln County Farms AR1111
& AR1110 Bayou
Millet Strip & Ratoon Rice
October 2010
|
Every rice plant in the reflooded area has produced a 2nd head, whether it
was cut with a stripper header, clipped with a rotary mower later or
complete new growth where the combine & grain cart tires rolled the stubble
flat. |
Over 10,000 lbs of duck food should be produced in this
field. |
September 2010
|
8 to10 acres of Japanese Millet was planted this August where the soybeans
failed on the bottom of AR1111 in Jefferson Co. |
Immediately after being cut, approx 10 acres of rice on
AR1110 had 40lbs of urea applied & was reflooded to encourage a 2nd crop for
duck food. |
June 2010
|
The second generation of an approximately 1/2 mile long, 10' to 20' wide bayou
millet strip is off to a strong start. |
Nearly 300 acres of rice adjoin the AR1111 bayou strip in 2010. |
