    Indeed!

    Moist soil units up here look great too.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    How does sprangletop fair as food? Have an area that has been strip mined that I’m working to turn into moist soil and has some decent patches of that in it.

    It’s a rush (Juncus) and not a desirable food source.

    Sprangle is good stuff.

    Haven’t seen it in any moist soil units around the lake yet.

    I’ve thought about buying some seed to scatter in a smaller impoundment to see how it does.
    Anybody here have decent stands?

    I have about an acre of it that will be flooded this fall. It gets really tall, and is hell on decoy lines.. In my opinion the size and mass of the plant is very disproportional to the amount of seed you actually get in return. Much better to replace with crops if possible.

    Why don’t you mow it after it’s seeded out?
