It is a delicate balance and is managed by the state and federal government as well as local farmers and waterfowlers.* * General information taken from Mattamuskeet & Ocracoke Waterfowl Heritage by Jack Dudley     We farm corn, beans, millet and grain sorghum. A portion of the harvest is sold at market but the higher percentage is left for waterfowl habitat and feeding.    Ditches alongside the acreage allows us to flood the fields at just the right time and also drain off the excess when needed.     We make Wood Duck boxes and place where needed. Each year we release hundreds of birds. These photos show mallards.   Years of experience and the best calls come from
