Del, there is no doubt that cleaning the ditches are hurting the quail population, but the biggest problem they have is pesticide spraying. Don't get me wrong, I use to farm too ,so I know what the farmer has to go through. In order for him to make as many $$$$ as he can, it's usually fence row to fence row, and to spray for pests they need something that will kill the critters the first time, because if you have to do it more than once you're losing money. It's just a tough proposition.
