First off, this is not a scouting question, so if you feel the need to remind me about internet scouting, then you can go ahead and skip this question.

That being said, this one would probably be better off in the habitat forum, but oh well. Over the last couple weeks, the powers that be have disked up one of the fields on the side of Hwy 8 near where the grain bins used to be on the refuge. They then flooded it, but i didn't see that they planted anything. What benefit to ducks would you get from that? I guess they flooded it for the upcoming teal season, but i don't understand why they would turn under all that grass seed that was out there growing native.

Jap millet can be water seeded. Browntop might could be water seeded too, but I never have tried browntop, only Jap. Could be moist soil management. Disked it to set back succession and watered it to stimulate plant growth.
