Cody Kologi
“We started with the water line project and we also cost-shared with Ducks Unlimited to plant cover crops and install mobile electric fencing. We use that fencing daily to move our cattle, and it’s taken our grazing operation to a whole new level.
Alex Sylvester
“The fully automated pumps we use from Valley Irrigation are the best part of the USA Rice and Ducks Unlimited program. Keeping water on fields for rice and crawfish has become much more efficient with the new pump system.”
