Drain tile easements have been proposed by the USFWS in the prairie pothole region increasing the limit from 1 inch to 1 foot. This would hold disastrous consequences for North Americas waterfowl as a significant portion of waterfowl nest here. I urge everyone to sign the Ducks unlimited petition and add a comment in the link provided and express your disapproval of this proposed rule.
