A Kansas farmer says migrating birds are a threat to his crops during harvest.
Near the U.S.’s largest wetland in Central Kansas, Keith Miller says planting and harvest must start three weeks early. “If I wouldn’t be, the birds would be harvesting it for me.”
He tells Brownfield the Cheyenne Bottoms is a stopping point along the Central Flyway for birds who migrate south from Canada and North Dakota. “There is, I don’t know how many thousands of ducks and geese right now but there is quite a bit,” Miller says.
