These big flooded areas are being created due to drain off of small wetlands. Those big marshy areas are great for divers, but not so great for puddle ducks. The CRP acres create small temporary wetlands surrounded by a bunch of grass which is real productive to successful nesting. These newly flooded areas in the Spring produce tons of invertabrates which are the food of choice due to high protien during the breeding season. I believe a dry year on the prairie will really show us what's really happening up there. Luckily for us it looks like it will be wet again.

Have you ever been to NoDak? If what we saw is indicative of the amount of marsh area in other parts of the state, they have plenty to raise ducks on. It's just my observation so don't get your panties twisted.
