Last year the wildlife food plot near water became a pasture for geese. Perhaps a fourth of the corn remained standing when the geese were finished. During their molt the geese are flightless and walk in search of food. Finding my corn they had a feast. They even ate the water hemp leaving the ground bare.
A wildlife official told me that they would fence the geese out this year. After planting the corn I told him I was ready for a fence. Today, the man in charge of the fencing called me. He said fencing was only to protect farmer's soybeans, so I'm not eligible. 😖
That creates a dilemma. It's a half hour drive by tractor to the field. Is worth the multiple trips to salvage a little bit of corn? Or, should I just abandon the effort? Too bad that I'd planted the corn, then the decision not to plant would have been easy.
Takk for alt,

And don’t the geese deserve to eat?
Good book you might try, called Time's Arrows. About what actions only happen traveling one way in time. Going back and not planting probably could happen either forward or backwards. ;->
