Being a farmer and a hunter I, I also see that happening around here. I see loss of habitat all over ag land, but it is not even close to the loss due to housing and the land owners that want to get rich selling lots. The biggest thing here with farm practices is the clearing of tree/brush lines so that irrigations can be installed more econamically, one big system rather than fewer smaller ones. Also with bigger equipment all the little jogs and corners make for odd feilds. I personally planted alot of trees a few years ago, and will be removing one of the planted tree lines just for the factg that is makes that feild a real pain to plant, spray and etc. Another factor here in MN is the politicians and their descision to redo green acres and that is the biggest cause for habitat turning to tilled land. I know just in a 2 mile radious at least 300 acres of long time grassy brushy areas, basically CRP type land, but not enrolled in CRP, that has been plowed under and planted due to the fact it no longer qualified for green acres. Always rememebr the farmer pays the taxes, the insurance, and all expenses to owning the land. We have alot of good sportsman groups that donate an awful lot of $$, maybe these clubs need to approach the farmers with these areas with a little incentive to keep the habitat, habitat. Of course there are some mega farmers here that will tear down a nursing home if it meant they could plant one more bag of seed, but most are doing it the right reasons.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
