Great video with lots of great info Joel. Thank you. I live in Maryland and on a farm. I manage my ponds as best as I can with nesting boxes, weeds, food, etc. Our duck and goose counts are lower and lower every year. I have stopped shooting ducks and geese on my farm for years now so they have a place of peace and protection. I personally think we need to lower the amount of ducks we can kill but not just in Maryland - across the whole East coast. I know it will upset folks but imagine us closing the season for just a year - and pray for perfect weather for their hatching. They already have too many predators like skunks, raccoons, cats, etc. Sorry my follow hunters, but living on a farm, I see what is happening and I used to get thousands of geese and well over 300 ducks on here a year and only hunt it like 3-5x. Now I am lucky to see 200 geese and 50 ducks visiting. Sad.

Thanks Joel! What an interesting video! That Lodge project is also fascinating. What a great place you all will have! If you do decide to plant some native seasonal wetland crops, River Refuge Seed company in Brownsville Oregon is a great resource. The Rogers family farms over a thousand acres to provide those seeds for sale. I am fortunate enough to be able to hunt their property during the waterfowl season. Plenty of seeds left after the harvest for the birds when the fields flood!

Great video, Joel. You inadvertently answered a question I posed on my channel last year about a plant I could not identify. I think it’s its toothcup. I have all the other beneficial plants you cited as well and my smartweed is the less desirable variety as well. My question is this, how well do these plants tolerate a full flood? I planted chiwapa millet this year and it was doing great until Debby put about 8’ of water over is. A near record flood. We flood at least once a summer but not usually like this. The flood also kill most of the barnyard grass but it seems the smartweed and sprangletop did OK. I’m thinking of transitioning to moist soil habitat to increase diversity and hedge against this in the future. I’ll probably to some chiwapa again next year but maybe with a significant percentage of Penn smartweed, chufa and barnyard grass seed. Maybe in a year or two be full wild seeds. Interested in your thoughts on my approach? FWIW, my avatar pic was taken on the morning of one of the hunts we had with you a couple years ago.

I’ve been on the same kind of moist soil management system for my 3 small impoundments for 3 years now. This year after the hurricane in early august my corn was flooded that I had in one of my impoundments so I started over this past week. In the other 2 I have barn yard grasses, Pennsylvania smart weed, lots of nut sedge and some Japanese and golden millet. My question is do the ducks really like to eat the not sedge as much as the other plants??? Thanks for the video as it’s helping me on my journey of not ever planting corn anymore in my impoundments!!!

I went 3 different ways on my clubs fields this year. Clean corn, dirty corn and semi moist soil. On my dirty corn I interplanted beans. So I have corn, weeds and beans. On my moist soil I also planted rice and golden millet and $6000 of smart weed. It looks great. It’s going to be interesting. I’m flooding the dirty corn first. 3rd week the weed field and then the clean corn when it gets cold. If it ever does. I’m in mid MO.
