New Farm Bill Needs Strong Conservation Provisions; Delta Urges Congress to Act on Behalf of Waterfowlers
On behalf of waterfowlers and waterfowl habitat nationwide, Delta Waterfowl is calling on Congress to support measures that improve land and water conservation in the new Farm Bill.
"Not many people know this, but the Farm Bill is the single largest source of federal funding for private lands conservation in the U.S.," says Delta President Rob Olson. "Since most ducks are produced on private ground, we need strong conservation provisions in the Farm Bill that increase grassland and wetland habitat."

Clean Water Restoration Act introduced in Senate; Hunters Asked to Contact Elected Officials
 The Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007, a bill critical to protecting million of acres of small, isolated wetlands most important for duck production, has been introduced in the U.S. Senate.
Delta Waterfowl President Rob Olson urges Delta members and waterfowl hunters nationwide to contact their Congressional representatives in support of the Act.
"Prairie potholes are the engines that drive duck production," Olson says. "Small wetlands are the best source of nutrition nesting ducks require during the breeding season. If you want to produce ducks, you better protect temporary and seasonal wetlands. It's that simple."
Hunters can quickly and easily contact their members of Congress by visiting Delta's website.
