We sold our farm a couple years ago but retained the hunting rights. My brothers-in-law farmed it with hunting in mind: left good cover at the fence rows and ditches, a few nice grass draws, even a few un-harvested feed rows, etc. We felt like it was worth giving up a few bushels for some decent habitat.

The new owners farm it to the roads; the hunting rights don't do us much good. I hope those few extra dollars are worth it. It's certainly their right, but sad nonetheless.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein
