When we use to have a small crawfish pond we would plant germinated rice every year. The problem we had was keeping the wood ducks out. Within two days we would have around 500 ducks in our 4 acre pond. We tried bottle rockets, firing shotguns in the air, but nothing worked. They eventually would just go in at night and eat the rice anyway. I would imagine you would run into this problem with some birds planting in the marsh. So plant double and hope that a quarter makes it.
