We hunt the Bell City area and not only has the sugar cane farming increased, but there is a lot of acreage that used to be farmed rice and beans and now sits fallow and has had for years. Seems like there is a decrease in grain farming every year. We still get birds in the area, but the amount of birds that show up in recent years compared to a decade ago has markedly decreased. I miss the days of old when every other rice field had a body of ducks and geese in it...
