Over the next couple of weeks Cam Meuckon will be providing reports from the front lines of Canada's duck factory during the annual spring survey.

Cam's May 14th Report (Posted May 15, 2008)

We have finished up our last day of survey work in Manitoba and will be traveling to Saskatchewan tomorrow. Today I was working near a community called Snowflake, in extreme southern Manitoba. At one point we were only two miles from the international border.

This area is dotted with abandoned farm yards that create excellent habitat for predators. In fact, in one farm yard, I had a close encounter with a raccoon cruising the edge of a stream. I also found a Canada goose nest that appeared to be depredated by an avian predator.

Prince Edward Island First Province to Adopt 'ALUS' as Program

Farmer-supported CRP-type Program Holds Big Potential for Ducks, American hunters (Posted April 24, 2008)

Bismarck, N.D.—Delta Waterfowl President Rob Olson says today's announcement that the government of Prince Edward Island (PEI) has adopted Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) as provincial farm policy is a promising development for American waterfowl hunters and has the potential to pay big duck dividends down the road.

Often called the farmer's conservation plan, the new ALUS program in PEI will compensate farmers for providing ecological goods and services, including waterfowl habitat, on their working agricultural lands. PEI is the first Canadian province to make ALUS an official government program, which Olson hopes will spur other provinces to do the same.
