EP 405. Farming Rice and Ducks in the Garwood Prairie--But for How Much Longer?

Since arriving to Texas from Europe 4 generations ago, Slade Schiurring's family has produced rice on Texas's fabled Garwood Prairie. Waterfowl, too! It was his grandfather who returned from the Second World War and began leveeing the 3S Ranch property specifically for waterfowl. Slade describes his family's long-standing commitments to both rice farming and to waterfowl conservation, telling how they each go hand in hand; how both have changed drastically. As the past meteorically collides with the future, a real battle for agricultural land, for duck habitat, for water--essentially for a since-forever way of life on the prairie--is raging. For how much longer might it even exist?     Podcast Sponsors:   MOJO Outdoors https://www.mojooutdoors.com/p Benelli Shotguns https://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/waterfowl-shotguns BOSS Shotshells https://bossshotshells.com/ Ducks Unlimited https://www.ducks.org Flash Back Decoys https://www.duckcreekdecoys.com/ HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App  https://huntproof.app Tetra Hearing https://tetrahearing.com/ Tom Beckbe https://tombeckbe.com/ Voormi https://voormi.com/ GetDucks.com USHuntList.com     It really is duck season somewhere for 365 days per year.
