Show Page Eight The Springville Herald July 18, 1974 Farmers help pheasants in planting program A Hint to the Farmer It is widely recognized that the pheasant rides on the farmer's coattails. The ringneck is affected, af-fected, either directly or indirectly, in-directly, by whatever the farmer does with his farm management program. There are ways to use land whereby both landowners and pheasants or other wildlife are the benefactors. Many farmers enjoy pheasants and like to have them 'around. Some have inadvertently inad-vertently lost them as a result of farming practices which have eliminated cover. Good pheasant numbers can be maintained with a minimum of cover. Some practices which benefit pheasants as well as the farmer include the planting of shelter belts, hedgerows, maintenance of vegetation along fencerows and seeding of idle acres. Shelter belts planted around farm buildings provide protection from weather, particularly par-ticularly in areas of irritable prevailing winds. These same areas provide a source of protection from winter weather for pheasants if properly planted. They also make the farm more attractive. Hedgerows serve as a living fence or as a drift fence which traps snow and adds to the soil moisture reserve the following spring. Some consider the latter benefit more than enough compensation for the space required to maintain the hedgerow. Wind damage to crops may also be reduced by this added protection. Pheasants utilize this cover for escape and protection from enemies and also as safe travel lanes. Many farmers burn fencelines as a means of weed control It is a questionable practice since damage to fences almost in-' variably results. Cover provided along fences and ditches serves as important nesting cover for pheasants, especially that persisting from the previous year. It also provides safe travel lanes. A preferred alternative to burning for weed control is the use of herbicides. They allow the maintenance of perennial grass cover, which, in itself, discourages the establishment of weeds, and saves fences.

This protects the soil from erosion and at the same time provides critical nesting cover for pheasants. Proper grazing of such lands in summer or fall will provide forage for livestock without serious detriment to pheasants, provided grazing is not excessive. ex-cessive. Fencing of large areas and rotation grazing may be a desirable practice. Weed control in such areas can be accomplished ac-complished with herbicides or by spot mowing. Both of these practices can be deferred until after the nesting season but before the weeds concerned have gone to seed. The diversity which trees, shrubs and other vegetation provide to the landscape lends itself to a quality environment. Persons desiring additional information concerning the improvement of wildlife habitat on the farm should contact the Division of Wildlife Resources. They will be happy to help.
