Heres my take on this bein a farmer. Ive cleared several old fence rows and takin out several old ponds and trees around our farm. The fence rows were there for a reason 40 years ago when it was pasture. Now its crop land and all the fence row does is cause me headaches and get in the way and are unecessary to be there. Same as the old ponds. They served there purpose but I dont need them. I cut the tree lines way back so I dont scratch up my equipment. Money is a factor as well. If you can gain say another 15 acres by cleaning up that mess you cain gain another say 10,000dollars if your corn makes 170bushel/acre and you get say $4 a bushell for it. Now if a hunter or the wildlife dept want to pay me to leave it every year I will. I understand your consern that its not an issue of not havin a place to hunt but there not bein anything to hunt. Well if you have a good wildlife dept they should be awre of this. Its not just specific to your area.farmers are doin this everywhere. Here were I live in IN the DNR has started releasing and raising quail and some private people and it seem to be working cause Ive seen more these last few years than ever. Its been my experience that the animals will adapt to there surroundings. It might just not be as easy to walk down an old fence row and jump them out any more. Not to upset or offend just my stand on this as a farmer

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
