To attract and hold ducks requires good habitat.
Good habitat includes providing natural and agronomically produced foods in variety and abundance.
Equally important is a good water source that allows landowners to shallowly flood food and cover resources in a controlled manner. The ability to raise and lower water levels via water control structures, pumps and wells, and other methodology is critical.
