TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : Ducks Unlimited Canada, 1980.Description: 1 v. (various pagings) : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Wetlands managed by conservation boards and landowners in the prairie provinces as irrigation for haylands and pastures offer potentially high duck production benefits. Spring runoff is retained for several weeks to saturate the soil, then released in order to allow drying and facilitate harvest in July. Ideally, this schedule would ensure that the majority of duck clutches hatch prior to removal of plant cover and, at the same time, significantly improve hay production.
