over 5 million acres of land that farmers used to be paid to
keep in the Conservation Reserve Program are now being
farmed for corn. That is equivalent in land area to the state
of New Jersey. I personally witnessed this last fall on my visit
to South Dakota, and I heard stories about the impact to wild
pheasant populations, the creation of more highly erodible
land and the application of more fertilizers and pesticides,
which require additional energy to make them.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)
and other fishing and boating organizations are advocates for
boat owners across the nation and continue to lobby Congress to
change the law for the good of boat owners and wild pheasants.
If you are concerned about the potential impacts these changes
may have on you, I encourage you to contact your member to
Congress and write to EPA about your concerns. I certainly plan
to write them with my opinion.

The mission of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat
Commission is to protect, conserve and enhance
the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and
provide fishing and boating opportunities.

"The ethanol era has proven far more damaging to the
environment than politicians promised and much worse
than the government admits today."
So, how do wild pheasants in the Midwest factor into
this story? Well, farmers planted 15 million more acres of
corn last year in places where they have never previously
grown corn. The price of corn has risen from $3.22 per
bushel in 2010 to the current $7.00 per bushel. Historically,
our nation's corn supply was turned into livestock feed.
Now, 43 percent of corn production goes to fuel and 46
percent goes to livestock production. The more corn that
goes to ethanol increases the amount of corn that needs to
be planted to satisfy other demands. Statistics show that
