Fences must be built to exclude livestock. Provides winter cover and escape shelter for broods at tailwater pits and other odd locations. Small odd areas can be used with little detriment to farming. Greater variety of Crops in farm rotations. A variety of Crops rotated within each section or farm is more likely to provide the basic needs of pheasants than monocultures.
Crop rotation reduces erosion, seriousness of disease and insect damage, and weed problems.
Rotation may improve efficiency of fertilization. Diversified farming creates more stable income. Efficiency of field operations may be reduced. Increases edge and diversity of cover. Strip cropping reduces erosion from wind and results in better crop production on marginal lands.
