 This research seeks to create season habitat
for the waterfowl breeding season in fallow
rice fields. Cover crops can provide a winning
solution for soil health and nesting habitat on
agricultural lands. Cover crops in this context are
rain fed and rely on soil water storage to get them
through maturity.After two years of experimental measurements, the project was extended for one more winter season. After two dry years, the 2022-23 season is very wet. New fields were selected in October 2022 and the equipment is running at two checks in a single field – one fallow, and one cover cropped. Measurements will be conducted November 2022 through July 2023. |
