Actually not all that is entirely true either. mowing the roadsides twice a year destroys millions of tons of weed annualy. Basic rule of thumb is destroy a ton of weed,make a ton of grass.Most ground dwelling animals simply cant utilize high weed ,so it makes no difference in food value,and in fact helps because it encourages shorter,more open growth they need to feed. Animals such as deer dont like the open so they simply stay away from the roadsides instead of making it a home range.Small animals and deer like edge cover.Mowing the right of way makes miles apon miles of edge ,it simply moves it back away from the road center.Small animals simply feed on short grass forbs and yes weeds that grow closer to ESCAPE cover which is normally the fence line.This not only protects motorists but actually puts game back on your feilds where they are accessable to be harvested. Weeds allowed to grow one year normaly take two to destroy,increasing the monetary vallue for control much more. Very few down sides to mowing IF its done responibly. Farmers that raise a crop up to and under fence lines are the biggest destroyers of habitat in the country. birds of prey are more or less self regulating,as their prey dies so do they.
